Wolfe reintroduction

14 wolves were reintroduced in Yellowstone in 1995. Wolves were reintroduced to reduce elk and bison populations, that were over grazing their habitats. It was the intent of USFWS to reduce elk and bison populations with wild wolves. It was also agreed upon that when the population of wolves exceeded 300 animals, that the states would take over wolf managment and huntng would be allowed.
