Alaska is the only state that the wolf is not endangered in. In every other state that the wolf lives in, they are endangered. There are an estimated 7,700- 11,200 wolves left in the wild, in Alaska (wolf in Alaska). People come from all over the world to see the wild wolf (Alaska's wolf). The wolf (canis lupus) is the largest member in the canidae gamily and its order is carnivore (song).
I began my research process by thinking of questions I would like to know about the wolf in Alaska. The first question I came up with was, "What is some general and interesting information about the wolf in Alaska?" I did not know very much about the wolf, I knew that they lived and traveled in packs and they had a sort of social hierarchy. My second question was, "Is the state of Alaska trying to save the wolf in anyway to keep them from over population?" I did not have any idea about this information because I was not aware that there were so many wolves in Alaska. My third question was "Are the wolves in Alaska hunted and if they are, why?" I did not have any information on this question, so I wanted to know because if they were hunted, that's just wrong because they are endangered in forty-six other states and they could just relocate the wolf in Alaska. My forth question was, "When are the offspring born, and some general information about the offspring?" I did not know any information about the offspring and I want to know more about them. My fifth and final question was, "Where is the wolf located in Alaska?" I did not have a clue what part(s) of the state the wolf as located in and I wanted to know if it was all one area or if they were scattered throughout the state. .
My research process was quite complicated because the majority of the web sites either had the same information over and over or they were petitions about banning aerial shooting of wolves in Alaska. The first part of my research process was thinking up questions that I wanted to know about the wolf.
