The gray wolves profiled in Return of the Wolf made up the Druid Peak pack,
one of about 14 in the park today. Originally trapped in Canada, the five wolves formed
a new pack in captivity and then were released into the Lamar Valley in northeastern Yellowstone.
To avoid emotional attachment, biologists do not give names to the wolves, only numbers. Each is outfitted with a radio collar that tracks their location. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
