National Wildlife Federation: Gray Wolf
The site explores a variety of issues related to the gray wolf, a threatened species in the United States. Explore the site and use its information to help you respond to the Interdisciplinary Activity in your textbook.

What’s in a Howl?
Go to this site to learn how wolves communicate and to hear their eerie howls. Listen to the lonesome howl, pup howl, confrontational howl, and chorus howl. Then, like authors Jim Brandenburg and Julius Lester, try writing from the perspective of a wolf and explain what you mean when you howl in a particular way.

Wolves
Review this National Geographic Society site to learn how wolves, coyotes, elk, and cattle interact and how natural and human forces affect them. In your Web Links Activity Log, explain how these forces influence the well-being of wolves.
