Gray Wolf Habitat
Gray wolf
Where the animal is:
Habitat: The gray wolf habitat, in the past, included areas as varied as deserts of Egypt and the bone chilling, icy tundras. The gray wolf is as adaptable as man; it is no wonder that the habitat of the gray wolf is spread all over the world. The Great Plains Wolf, which is a subspecies of the gray wolf, is a native to the gray wolf habitats in North America. It is also known as the buffalo wolf or the Eastern timber wolf. Once, these gray wolves dominated and claimed the vast stretches of continental US, especially, the western United States and southern Canada as their habitat. Today, Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin serve as the gray wolf habitat. Occasionally, these gray wolves have been reported in the states of Dakota and Nebraska.

Wolf reintroduction is only considered where large tracts of suitable wilderness still exist and where certain prey species are abundant enough to support a predetermined wolf population. The five last known wild Mexican grey wolves were captured in 1980 in accordance with an agreement between the United States and Mexico intended to save the critically endangered subspecies. Since then, a comprehensive captive breeding program has brought Mexican wolves back from the brink. Currently, there are 300 captive Mexican wolves taking part in the program. The ultimate goal for these wolves, however, is to reintroduce them to areas of their former range. In March 1998, this reintroduction campaign began with the releasing of three packs into the Apache-Sit greaves National Forest in Arizona. Today, there may be up to 50 wild Mexican wolves in Arizona and New Mexico. The final goal for Mexican wolf recovery is a wild, self-sustaining population of at least 100
