My current event is on the article:
Whos's Afaid of The Big, Bad Wolf? Coyotes. This article is about how the coyote's (the top dog in much of the country) population decreases when they share teritory with the wolves. Scientists are studying how the wolves limit the number of coyotes in the places where both animals live together. They found out that coyotes are the dominent predator, but the coyotes densities were substantially lower in areas containing both wolves and coyotes. They also figured out that the coyotes densities declined thirty-nine percent when Yellow Stone National Park reintroduced the wolves. Suprisingly, humans are more of a threat than wolves to coyotes!
I thought this article was interesting. It was really informational and I learned a lot from it. I would have never guessed that the wolves and coyotes were in competition with each other for territory. I also didn't know that the wolves and the coyotes eat each other.
