Return of the gray wolf to Wisconsin
April 1, 1981
Five gray wolf (Canis lupus) specimens were examined from Wisconsin from 1975 through 1979; each had been killed by human beings, accidentally or intentionally. This confirms the presence of wolves in Wisconsin and supports the hypothesis that human-related mortality is the factor limiting the population.
