Riding Mountain National Park (RMNP) is home to the gray or timber wolf (Canis lupus). This icon of all things wild continues to fascinate yet cause fear in humans wherever it lives on this earth, even here in RMNP. Wolves have been a part of RMNP's landscape for thousands of years. As a top predator, they are key to a healthy ecosystem, and are important in controlling prey populations by killing and eating weak or diseased animals. Elk, deer, moose and other prey species have evolved strategies to avoid being preyed upon. For visitors, wolves represent the true meaning of wilderness, and seeing a wolf is an exciting and unique experience for many of us.
