International Wolf Center Programs - Track Wild Wolves. The International Wolf Center relies heavily on scientific research to provide facts about wolves that can be shared with the world.
Radio telemetry is one such research technique that has dramatically expanded our knowledge of wolves. Visitors to the Center in Ely learn about radio telemetry by actually venturing into the forest to track wild wolves. While this is the most exciting way to learn about wolves and wolf research, technology gives amateur researchers another alternative. What is Radio Telemetry? Radio tracking uses radio signals to locate animals and follow their movements. Scientists have used this method to learn about many species, including elephants, small birds, whales and wolves. More than 700 wolves have been tracked in northern Minnesota in this way since 1968. First, a radio transmitter housed in a collar is attached to the animal. First, the researcher live-traps a wolf. Radio telemetry is used in several ways. 36-hour period.
What Have We Learned? Start Tracking! Title: Arctic wolves and their prey - Mech. Arctic Wolves and Their Prey L. David Mech Biological Resources Division U.S. Geological Survey One of the most fascinating creatures inhabiting the Arctic is the arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos). The arctic wolf is a race, subspecies, or geographic variant of the gray wolf (Canis lupus) species that originally lived throughout the northern hemisphere north of 15°N latitude (12°N latitude in India).
Year-around white coats and slightly shorter noses and ears distinguish these wolves from other races of the gray wolf, and the life of the arctic wolf is basically the same as the lives of wolves everywhere. The arctic wolf lives in the area along the northern edge of the North American continent and northward to the North Pole, as well as along the eastern and northern shores of Greenland.
Some white wolves can be found as far south as Wood Buffalo National Park in northern Alberta, Canada, at a latitude of 60°. The High Arctic (75° to 90°N) is mostly unsettled by people. Mech, L.
