The wolves were re-introduced to Yellowstone in 1995. They brought them there from Canada.
The initial group of wolves was 31 introduced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and is now approximately 2,000 today. The species lives in only 2 percent of it's original territory. Their reintroduction has helped with overgrazing by elk and deer and allowing the natural growth to prosper. This is considered to one of the great conservation tasks of the 20th century.

∙ 10y agoIn January of 1995, fourteen wolves from east of Jasper, British Columbia, were placed in three acclimation pens near creeks in the Lamar Valley. The purpose was to allow these wild wolves to learn the smells and sounds of the area, so that they could quickly find prey. In late March of that year, all of them were released into the wild. Seventeen additional ones were released in 1996 April; there are now between 400 and 450 wolves in the area.

How was the gray wolf restored to Yellowstone?
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.
