Wolves in Yellowstone
They are saying wolves made Yellowstone a better place. I don't buy this. Please watch the video and share your thoughts:

Wolves, like any other predatory animal, are essential to any ecosystem. They go through cycles, along with their prey. By most accounts, wolf pops in Alberta are currently high and deer pops may be low. The result of this will be falling wolf pops as a result of more difficulty finding food; and increasing big game populations. Standard predator-prey cycles.

that would be true in an untouched ecosystem. we have made roads and trails everywhere, which the wolves use to move from area to area, killing off the majority of ungulates. the solution is active, drastic wolf control measures. anything that can be done to limit the spread, should be done.

Wolves don't need roads to travel on . They do just fine in the thickest of timber.

Based on the movie, the wolves stopped being meat eaters after the deer and elk population have left the valleys and moved up on higher ground.... yea, right!

Interesting watch, anyone else notice that the narrator kept talking about deer in the beginning. Yet the video kept showing elk?
Either way, thanks for the link.

Think that little Greenie blurb has already been discredited .
