Wolf #10, a male, in the Rose Creek acclimation pen, Yellowstone National Park. Wolf reintroduction involves the reintroduction of a portion of grey wolves in areas where native wolves have been extirpated. More than 30 subspecies of Canis lupus have been recognized, and grey wolves, as colloquially understood, comprise nondomestic/feral ...

When considering the issue of wolf reintroduction in 2016, the commission adopted a formal resolution opposing intentional release of wolves. [18] Six gray wolves were photographed or killed in Colorado between 2004 and 2019. [19] These animals are most likely from the natural dispersion of those reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park.

Such encounters have become daily occurrences in Yellowstone after gray wolves rebounded in parts of the American West with remarkable speed following their reintroduction 25 years ago.
O-Six (named after the year of her birth). [3] was for several years [2010 - 2012] the dominant breeding female of the Lamar Canyon pack in Yellowstone National Park.Born in 2006 in the Agate Creek pack to Agate Creek Wolves #113M (born a Chief Joseph Wolf in 1997) and Wolf #472F (born a Druid Peak wolf in 2000), [4] [5] [6] she was principally known by the year of her birth.

With the reintroduction of gray wolves (Canis lupus) to Yellowstone National Park, much interest has been shown regarding the effects of a restored wolf population on both grizzly bears and black bears. Grizzly bears, black bears, and gray wolves have historically coexisted in much of the same range throughout a large portion of North America.

But, for ...
The purpose of reintroduction is to create a free-ranging, viable, and reproductively sustainable population which will help restore its environment. [18] Multiple challenges have arisen with reintroductions, mainly concerning genetics and life history traits. Research assessing these concerns of reintroduction tend to primarily focus on genetics.
