What states do Wolfs live in?

Answer 1

applebeer is wrong...wolves have been wiped out in most of the US. They were once widespread, but now only exist in a few states. In North America, the Gray Wolf is now found primarily in Canada and Alaska, with much smaller numbers in Minnesota. In 1995 wolves were reintroduced in wilderness areas of the northern Rocky Mountains. A small population of the sub-species Mexican Wolf once existed in higher elevations of the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts of Mexico but is now extinct in its native habitat.

Answer 2

The question has more or less been covered but I would like to add one thing.

One of the problems wolves are having is there are FAR too many people in the US that own them as "pets". When these owners find that they are too much to handle and they cannot find a good home for them they tend just to "release" them into the wild thinking they will be ok.

Because of this at times you will have sightings of wolves in places that they are not really known to live.

For example there are many sightings of cougars in our area. Though they are able to live in our area they have been driven off do to development and loss of food. The problem is that those that are sighted are either escaped "pets" or those that have been let go.

Thus the trick is have wolves moved back into "x" area or are they there my mistake.

Just something to think about when you see wild animal sightings on the news or in the paper.

Gray wolves are found in Michigan, yes. Also, black wolves are never 100.00% wolf. Black coat color only comes from a dog's genetic material, yet the gene may remain unseen until that wolf. - For example, say there is a grandma who has green eyes. She has a daughter with brown eyes, and her daughter marries a man with blue eyes, and the woman's daughter has green eyes, from her grandma. Even though her mom nor father had green eyes, she got the gene from back two generations, which means that a black wolf does not mean one of it's parents are a dog- just that somewhere along the line there was a mating between a wolf and dog with a black coat color gene. - - Gray wolves are a species, canis lupus. Timber wolves, and most wolves, such as the arctic wolf and the Mexican wolf are subspecies. In fact, the only true wolf that is NOT a subspecies is the red wolf. - So yes, you would find timber colored wolves, tan colored, and maybe even whitish colored wolves as well, as all those colors run in the gray wolf lineage. Though I do not believe you will actually see red wolves, Mexican wolves, or arctic wolves in Michigan, you will most likely see wolves with similar colors, seeing as they are all subspecies of the gray wolf.

Wolves are in many states, if you want a specific type then you can narrow it down to 2-3 states. But off the top of my head, Utah, Colorado, Montana, Oregon, California, North and South Dakoda, Minnisota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Newyork, Main. Thats all i will list right now, there are some in just about every state.
