out gray wolves from the Lower 48
states by the 1960s. After the
wolves were put on the endangered
species list, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service began breeding
them and reintroducing them into
the wild in 1995.
Now, more than 250 released
wolves and their offspring live in
the northern Rocky Mountains and
more than 20 are in the Southwest.
The Fish and Wildlife Service has

The three ju
venile wolves are

half-acre enclo
sure on the Flying
D Ranch in
southwestern
Montana which is
owned by media
mogul Ted Turn
er. The wolves are
fitted with collars
that can provide
both an annoying
noise and a mild electric shock.
Researchers then put a calf into
the pen wearing a transmitter that
gives the wolves shocks if they get
“within biting distance” of the calf,
explained John Shivik, the Agricul
ture Department researcher leading
the project. The calf was unharmed,
even after researchers left it in the
pen with the wolves overnight.
Officials now plan on releasing
the wolves back into the wild in mid-
October, said Ed Bangs, who heads
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s
wolf recovery program in Montana.
