NATION IN BRIEF : WYOMING : Wolves Now Roam Freely at Yellowstone
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
All 14 gray wolves brought from the Canadian Rockies and released in Yellowstone National Park are now roaming freely, a park spokeswoman said. The wolves, caught in Canada in January, are part of a controversial plan to re-establish the great predator in the U.S. Rocky Mountain region. The wolves were initially transported to one-acre penned sites in the park in a so-called soft release program to give them time to acclimate to the new surroundings and form relationships in their new packs.
