Wolves Return to Yellowstone, and the Beavers Move Back In
In 1995, biologists released 31 grey wolves into Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Without wolves, elk had overgrazed the willows along the streams. As the wolves thinned and scattered the herds, the willow stands grew back, and beavers moved in. Nine beaver colonies now dam the park's creeks, and their ponds are cutting erosion. The U.S. National Park Service credits the 1995 release for the recovery.
