The exhibit includes five wolf specimens and one coyote specimen on loan from the Bell Museum of Natural History, in cooperation with the International Wolf Center in Ely, Minn. The exhibition features wolves and their closely related cousins, the red wolf and coyote. The story of wolves in North America takes us to many places, from the Arctic to the southwestern United States.
This exhibition provides a compelling, continental perspective on wolves today. Organized by region, each wolf is presented in its human and natural-history context. For every region where wolves thrive--or struggle to survive--cultural and economic pressures continue to shape their existence. Among the topics discussed in the exhibit: whether coyotes threaten the survival of the red wolf in the Southeast; will coyotes win out in the competition for food and space in North America; will land development crowd out wolves in the Rocky Mountains?
