Wolf info

The article in this link http://www.nps.gov/yell/naturescience/wolves.htm has info about the wolves in Yellowstone including how many wolves there are, the territory of each pack, and how many of which types of animals they have killed and eaten.

The article in this link http://www.ylwstone.com/wolfwatching.html has info about how to find wolves for wolf watching.  The info includes a map to common pull-outs off the main road where wolf spotters hang out, the kinds of sounds to listen for, the questions you can ask other wolf-spotters.  If that link doesn't open, try http://www.ylwstone.com/ and click "wolf watching" in the left hand menu.

In a 7 day visit we typically see the large canids 3-4 days in both the spring and fall. Sightings every day are not uncommon. Sometimes one lone wolf and sometimes a pack of 18. Luck has a lot to do with it, but there are several things you can do to remarkably improve your chances.
