wolves

THey're mainly up north, but their numbers are on the rise.

There is a predator-prey study that has been going on in Michigan for 65 years and it is the longest of its kind in the world.

Without them, Isle Royale would be in big trouble.

In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, farmers are utilizing donkeys as a means to protect their cattle from predators.

Last week, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources wildlife division announced the size of the state’s wolf population has not changed significantly since the last survey was conducted in 2014.

A federal court judge has ordered the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to immediately return wolves in the Great Lakes region to the federal endangered species list, making it illegal for Michigan citizens to kill wolves attacking livestock or dogs. Two state laws allowing livestock or dog owners to kill wolves in the act of depredation are suspended by the ruling.

The Michigan DNR's annual report on Michigan's wolf population is out and it shows little change in the wolf population from 2013.
