"“How did you get into wolves?”
The question came from the woman in front of me on a fourteen-passenger bus in
Yellowstone National Park in the middle of winter. My husband, Richie, and I
were on a three-day “Winter Wolf Discovery” excursion, and while everyone on
the tour loved animals — the woman in front of me was an avid birder — we
discovered that not everyone was as into wolves as we were. When our guide
Vanessa began to explain the history of wolf restoration, Richie and I nodded
along: the last Yellow wolves were killed by 1926; in 1995-1996, thirty-one
Canadian wolves were reintroduced into the park; twenty years later, there were
528 wolves in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and, as of December 2021, at
least 95 wolves in the park. Old news for wolf nerds like us.
How had we gotten into wolves?"
