This is a relatively straight forward statement on the status of wolves in the park as of December 14th. The situation on the ground has continued to evolve since then and remains interesting. It also acknowledges that the park has little authority to manage wolves in surrounding states. I appreciate having been sent the link.
"The number of wolves in the northern portion of Yellowstone decreased from 94 in December 2007 to 34 by December 14, 2012 due to wolves killing each other, food stress, disease, and human-caused mortality inside and outside the park. Park-wide, the number of wolves in Yellowstone declined from 171 in December 2007 to 82 in December 2012 due to the same reasons."
