Bringing Back Wolves
The wolves that were brought to Yellowstone were placed
n. the act of allowing a person or animal to leave a prison, cage, etc.
in soft release. This means the wolves were put into large
release
pens for about ten weeks so that they could get used to
their new home. Ed used this method so that the family
packs would stay in the park area.
Ed used hard release with the wolves in Idaho, so the
wolves were let go right away. In this way, the young
wolves formed new packs.
