Myth #4
The reintroduced wolves are larger and different than the ones that previously lived in the Northwest.
FACT: The Rocky Mountain Wolf of Canada, which was released in Idaho and in Yellowstone National Park, is a subspecies of the Gray Wolf and is the same subspecies that previously lived here. This claim of a larger and different type of wolf is often used to discredit the species' reintroduction. It is not true.
