From NPS.gov:
After the US Fish and Wildlife Service and National Park Service reintroduced gray wolves (Canis lupus) into Yellowstone National Park in 1995–96, wolves dispersed to Grand Teton National Park and surrounding areas. In 1999, a wolf pack denned in Grand Teton and produced a litter of pups—the first in the park in over 70 years.
Since then, wolves continue to live and reproduce in the Jackson Hole area, including Grand Teton and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. The reintroduction of wolves restored a predator-prey relationship absent since humans eradicated wolves from the ecosystem in the early 20th century.
