Gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park in 1995, when 14 individuals were relocated from Canada. Another 17 were added in 1996, and since then they have slowly but surely restored Nature's balance, increasing their own numbers and adjusting the imbalances that had been allowed to flourish in the absence of this top predator.
Thanks to photographer "Geyser Gary" for this lovely photo of a Yellowstone wolf. You can see more at http://www.flickr.com/photos/geysergary/
