Wolf Awareness Week 2023: Big News, Great Promotions, and Educational Sessions | Wolf Conservation Center

It’s a moment of joy and reaffirmation. Last weekend, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) field team stumbled upon a surprise – a wolf born and raised at the WCC now strutting his stuff in the wild! Known as m2821 or “Slides,” thanks to a naming contest by our partners at Great Wolf Lodge, this wolf represents a remarkable success story. Born to Trumpet this past spring, Slides was given a chance to thrive in the wild through cross-fostering, a process that places captive-born pups with wild packs. Today, he roams with the Hail Canyon pack. You can track his adventurous journey using this linked map. Navigate to quadrant 16A and zoom in to the cluster of hexagons – he’s in a group of 5 “dots”.

Sehenswert.

Unterwegs mit den Wölfen 🐺

Der #Film dokumentiert die Wanderschaft junger #Wölfe, die ihr angestammtes Rudel verlassen, um ein eigenes Revier zu finden. Nur wenige der Wölfe schaffen es dabei bis zum Ende ihrer Reise ... Als Ergebnis zweijähriger Beobachtungen entstand ein echtes Roadmovie durch die Alpen bis in den Jura, das die geografische Nähe von Mensch und #Wolf in einer zunehmend bedrohten #Natur hinterfragt.
Im vergangenen Jahrhundert war der Wolf in Mitteleuropa fast ausgerottet, jetzt kehrt er allen Hindernissen zum Trotz in seine ehemaligen Lebensräume zurück. Der Film von Jean-Michel Bertrand beleuchtet, wie sich die Wölfe verbreiten: Junge, geschlechtsreife Wölfe verlassen ihre Geburtsgruppe und begeben sich auf Wanderschaft, um eigene Reviere zu finden.
Um die komplexe und schwer nachvollziehbare Lebensweise der jungen Wölfe, ihre Begegnungen mit Artgenossen und ihre Partnersuche zu verstehen, folgte der französische Tierfilmer zwei Jahre lang ihren Spuren – durch die Wildnis und in allen Jahreszeiten. Der Film zeigt die vierbeinigen Abenteurer beim Durchqueren ungastlicher Gebiete: entweder Reviere anderer Wölfe, in denen sie nicht willkommen sind, oder – was häufiger vorkommt – vom Menschen besiedelte Territorien. Ihrem Instinkt folgend finden sie aber immer noch unbewohnte Flecken in freier Wildbahn.

WOLF WEDNESDAY
Excellent Research
Alpha Status, Dominance, and Division of Labor in Wolf Packs
by: L. David Mech

Excerpt:
Abstract: "The prevailing view of a wolf (Canis lupus) pack is that of a group of
individuals ever vying for dominance but held in check by the "alpha" pair, the alpha
male and the alpha female. Most research on the social dynamics of wolf packs, however,
has been conducted on non-natural assortments of captive wolves."

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Statement on the Gray Wolf in the Lower-48 United States

On November 3, 2020, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published a final rule delisting
the gray wolf everywhere it was listed in the lower-48 United States and Mexico, except
for the Mexican wolf subspecies (85 FR 69778). The rule took effect in January 2021.

On February 10, 2022, that delisting rule was vacated by the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California. As a result, all gray wolves in the lower-48 United States
outside of the Northern Rocky Mountain region are currently protected under the
Endangered Species Act. Multiple parties appealed the district court’s order to the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and the parties have been engaged in mediation.

On January 26, 2023, the Circuit Mediator issued an order temporarily staying the
appeals for administrative purposes until February 2, 2024. During the abeyance, the
Service will update the status review for the gray wolf throughout the lower-48 United
States and commence a stakeholder engagement effort. More details regarding
stakeholder engagement will be forthcoming.
By February 2, 2024, the Service intends to submit to the Office of the Federal Register a
proposed rule concerning the listing status of gray wolves in the lower-48 United States
under the Act.

If you look closely at Silas' paw, you'll notice that it's quite large compared to the rest of his body. Thanks to his paws, Silas can swim, run, + more. https://t.co/XT5L4J0C7B" / X
