Gray wolves were captured in Canada and relocated to the park. They spent the first few weeks in "acclimation pens" to recover from the ordeal, get used to the environment, and ensure that they wouldn't try to run home as soon as they got there. They were fed roadkilled elk, deer, and bison every few days until they were released. After that, they were monitored by collars they wore but were otherwise on their own to survive.
