A recent report on Wyoming’s wolves is drawing attention to a longstanding belief among some Americans that wolves in the Cowboy State are significantly bigger than gray wolves in other parts of the Lower 48.
WyoFile, which recently explored this topic with key wolf biologists, noted a conspiracy theory that Canadian “superwolves” translocated from Alberta and B.C. to Yellowstone and Idaho years ago were a “bigger, invasive species” than the wolves extirpated from the Lower 48 during colonization. That’s simply not true, experts say — superwolves aren’t a thing.

The two wolves who attacked two women zookeepers Wednesday morning at the Washington Park Zoo in Michigan City likely overreacted because another wolf in their pack had died.
