The Yellowstone Wolf Family Tree

Back in 2015, Dr. Jim Halfpenny & Leo Leckie created the Yellowstone Wolf Family Tree. It was decided that Ancestry.com would be the best platform to accurately represent and historically memorialize the greatest wildlife restoration project in North America, and perhaps the world: the reintroduction of gray wolves to the Lower 48 of the United States! Not long after 2015, Shauna Baron joined the team, and we had the foundation, the knowledge-base for creating this massive documentation project.

Featuring the life stories, genealogy and photographs of *every* Yellowstone wolf, from the founding wolves of 1995 and 1996 to those you see on Yellowstone National Park's landscape today, this is your free and open-to-the-public internet and mobile source to the unfolding history and genealogy of Yellowstone's wolves!

This website will be enhanced and expanded in the months ahead to include images and easily-accessible stories of some of Yellowstone's most famous wolves, and some you might have never heard of before.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Central to the knowledge base of Yellowstone wolves is the Yellowstone Wolf Project.

If the reader sees a fact, somehow it is related to or derived from the efforts of personnel at the Yellowstone Wolf Project. It is important to note that one biologist or person may report ideas or findings that are, in fact, the result of many researchers and volunteers collaborating with the Wolf Project and with the Yellowstone Wolf Family Tree. To each of the volunteers, official and non-official, who helped, especially for their long, cold hours, we also give special thanks. We thank everyone who has contributed to the historical development of ideas, concepts, and research.
