A BOOK SUMMARY ON “The Return of the Wolf To Yellowstone” Author Thomas McNamee Part 4
The original wolves released in the Yellowstone were marked
with red tags and given numbers.
Number seven and number two became the first to become a
mating pair in the wild and became the first naturally formed Yellowstone wolf
pack in 70 years. They will be known now
as the Leopold pack named after the great conservationist, Aldo Leopold. He was the first naturalist to dream of the
return of the wolf to Yellowstone. In
the late 1990’s there were 43 wild wolves in the Greater Yellowstone
Ecosystem. There were five fully
established packs, two others nearly so, two new likely pairs……..and more to
come.
