Ecological Studies of the Timber Wolf in Northeastern Minnesota

"Ecological Studies of the Timber Wolf in Northeastern Minnesota" by L. David Mech is a scientific report from the 1970s that explores the lives of timber wolves in northern Minnesota. It emphasizes the importance of understanding their behavior and habitat during a time when their numbers were decreasing and they were at risk. The study looks closely at the wolves' environment in places like the Superior National Forest and explains how the research was conducted. The researchers tracked the wolves from the air and watched how they acted. The work highlights the wolves' social lives, their territories, and how they move around, adding to what was already known and addressing the environmental problems they faced.
