Wyoming Wolf Packs Are Gang-Like When It Comes To Protecting Their Turfbit.ly/42gfynMA detailed graphic created researchers who tracked six wolf packs in Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota indicates the canines avoid crossing other packs’ lines.Wyoming biologist said when lines are crossed, dismemberment and death can result. This Wolfwatcher can say that’s very true and has seen the results in Yellowstone. There is a viciousnessin their actions.It Can Come Down To MuscleGame and Fish data shows a similar lack of overlap between the numerous established wolf packs in an around Yellowstone Park. Territories can change over time, and it often can boil down to which pack can muster the most muscle, he said, adding it’s an interesting study in the group dynamics of the animals.“Pack dynamics change and territory boundaries shift through time, providing unique representations as to how pack size and strength allow for localized boundary fluctuations.Rather than risk open conflict, wolf packs prefer to keep a tenuous peace by marking their boundaries with “scent,” Thompson said. Dog owners will note the familiar lifting of a leg at a fire hydrant or neighbor’s shrubbery.As with everything there are always anomalies, such as single wolves dispersing as transients, but the territoriality and pack dynamics are expected with wolves and also factored into their conservation and management in Wyoming,” but they respect each others territory.This behavior has not reached the Colorado wolves, but when more are added as desired by the state this will be coming to the wolf environment there also.Photo: Treehugger ...

Save ranching and wildlife by investing in relationshipsbit.ly/3JwHe04Predation by wolves and bears is the reality of raising livestock in today’s Montana. But we don’t need to be hamstrung by the problem. We can find solutions. Our ranch is proof of that statedMr Purdy a rancher in the state.The article mentions FWP and does not believe they can do the job of watching g over all wildlife InThe state. Joe Purdy, believes s that Governor Gianforte and the folks at Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks take note and invest in solutions.Incest t in relationships and we have seen these kinds of public-private partnerships pay off for livestock producers and wildlife alike.Reducing conflicts between predators like grizzly bears, wolves and mountain lions is too big a job for FWP alone. FWP should work with ag producers, private landowners, conservation groups, and other agencies to bring more tools and innovation to the table.Ranchers have tried a lot of innovations, including electric fences, guard dogs and others to safeguard their animals. However, one tool has worked for us: range riders, paid for with both private dollars and public grants. Mr Purdy keeps his animals safer with the range riders using grants to enable it to function.It is not fair for the individual operators to shoulder these costs alone. Society has decided that we want predators on the landscape. So it make sense that society as whole pitches in to share this burden. Now, there is a growing interest in doing that, including the agricultural industry, the conservation community and government agencies. Wildlife is a big subject and it complicated especially for wolvesThey are going to visit the ranches there are steaks standing and wolves respond with their normal behavior. Mr.Rancher is trying to raise a herd and make a living and how frustrating like the Colorado rancher who tried everything and was still losing his cattle, one by one.The Colorado people,stepped In and helped watch the herds and other ways to teach how to avoid the lose of cattle. The were able to help the situation and created a relationship with rancher who did need support.Photo: National Geographic ... See MoreSee Less
