Wolves have been endangered for many centuries. Because wolves are at the top of the Food Chain they compete with humans for the same prey (deer, elk, rabbits, etc.) Humans have also developed many myths about wolves over the centuries, most of which are false. Consequently, in the US, Gray wolf populations were drastically reduced after the first part of the twentieth century.

Ther have been some attempts to re-introduce Gray wolves to national parks in the US, but they remain endangered to this day.
