TOLERANCE BY DENNING WOLVES, CANIS-LUPUS, TO HUMAN DISTURBANCE

Wolves are considered to be intolerant of human activity, especially n ear dens and pups. In recent years range extensions of the species in the upper Great Lakes region have brought Wolves in closer contact wit h humans. We report observations of Wolves tolerating human activity i n close proximity to dens and rendezvous sites with pups. These includ e moss harvesting work in the Black River State Forest, Wisconsin; mil itary maneuvers at Camp Ripley Military Reservation, and road construc tion work in the Superior National Forest in Minnesota.
