The Wolves of Minnesota Howl in the Heartland by L David Mech

The Wolves of Minnesota Howl in the Heartland by L David Mech

The wolves of Minnesota are one of conservations greatest success stories. Of the 48 contiguous United States, only Minnesota--with a wolf population at an estimated 2,600--has managed to protect and sustain a viable wolf population over the past two decades. But while some applaud the wolf's return, others worry about the human cultural costs of maintaining such a large population, and others wonder if that population is too high for the wolf's own good. Edited by renowned expert Dr. L. David (Wolfman) Mech and comprising the work of several researchers who have studied Minnesota wolves, The Wolves of Minnesota is an authoritative account of the background of the wolf in Minnesota. It features the fascinating story of the comeback of the wolf in Minnesota and examines the cultural costs, to the point where the question is not Will we ever hear the howl of the wolf again? but How many howls are enough? This book examines the animal and its packs and populations, the past and present ranges of the species in Minnesota, the rich history of the scientific research about it, the wolfs biology and prey, wolf-human interactions, and the future of the wolf in Minnesota.
