In fact, since 2008, the wolf population has remained stable at about 100 individual wolves within 10 packs. The Wolf Project Annual Report contains information on pup survival, wolf pack summaries and how radio collars are being used to study the park’s wolves, according to NPS.
“We’ve definitely seen an increase in habituation in bears and even an increasing level of habituation where bears now often tolerate people at very close distances and the people are just kind of benign background noise to the bears,” said Kerry Gunther, a bear biologist with Yellowstone National Park. Fortunately, while the stable grizzly bear population seems to be becoming more used to humans due to a rise in tourists, the actual human-bear conflicts “remain low” because of keen bear management strategies. In the Bear Management Program Annual Report, you will find information on bear sightings, how roadside bear viewing is managed, bear mortality counts, bear-human conflict tallies and more, according to the National Park Service (NPS). The reports, which can be found online, show a stable wolf population and a growing comfortability around humans for grizzly bears, Wyoming Public Media (WPM) reports. Yellowstone National Park recently published reports that look at grizzly bears and wolves over the course of 2018.
