As anyone who spends any time in the Maine woods knows, our coyote populations are plentiful and thriving despite recreational and programmed efforts to control these highly efficient predators.
And interestingly, there were no coyotes in Maine at one time. But what about wolves in Maine?

A rare wolf sighting on a road near La Pine, Oregon, is highlighting a growing reality in Central Oregon.
As development pushes farther into wild areas and wolf populations continue to recover, encounters between people and apex predators are becoming harder to avoid, according to KTVZ.

California’s wolf population was about 10% higher at the end of 2025 than the year before, despite the deaths of at least 12 animals, including four that were euthanized after attacking livestock, underscoring the state’s growing difficulties in managing protected predators.
There were 55 wolves in California by last December, up from 50 the year before, but down significantly from the previous estimate of 60 to 70 wolves in nine packs across the Sierra Nevada and other regions, according to a report released Thursday by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. But the number of successful breeding pairs — defined as mates that produced at least two pups that survived an entire year — declined from five to three, the report shows.

It was the winter of 2022, and hounds were already on the trail of a cougar fresh off a recent kill in the remote wilderness of northern British Columbia. Just a day earlier, Shane White’s colleague was conducting wolf surveys by helicopter when she spotted the cat.
The cougar (Puma concolor) took off into the nearby timber as the chopper approached. But knowing that White was about to begin a project trapping cougars in the area to fit them with GPS tracking collars, the colleague immediately notified him.

The same gray wolf that was spotted in Los Angeles County in February has become the first wild wolf to enter Sequoia National Park in more than 100 years, according to the California Wolf Foundation.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife wolf-tracking system shows that the wolf was most recently tracked entering the eastern end of the park near Mount Pickering.

Wyoming wildlife managers plan to reduce how many wolves can be hunted by 50% following a canine distemper outbreak that has cut the state’s wolf numbers to the lowest level in two decades.
A 22-wolf cap is the fewest number of wolves available to licensed Wyoming hunters since the state began allowing wolf hunting after Endangered Species Act protections were lifted in 2012. The limit also marks a significant decrease from last fall’s wolf hunting season.

Castilla y León has communicated this Thursday that, together with thirteen other autonomous communities, it will undertake legal actions against the Government after the deadline for the Ministry for Ecological Transition to send the six-year reports on the conservation status of various species of community interest, including the Iberian wolf, to the European Commission expired in July 2025.

Deep within Romania’s Făgăraș Mountains, a vast, untouched forest of ancient woodland teems with wildlife. Could this be the Yellowstone of Europe?

Minnesota’s wolf management is headed toward a predetermined destination — zero wolf harvest — and the DNR is using two flawed scientific pillars to get there. The first is the Adams et al. 2008 model, which the DNR uses to set a 28-29 percent human-caused mortality ceiling.
