United States at a Glance
Wolves once ranged over almost all of North America north of Mexico City, except possibly parts of California. Extirpation of gray and red wolf populations began shortly after settlers from Europe arrived. In the United States, the range, population and legal status of wolves varies by state and region.
The main prey for wolves in the United States is moose, deer, beaver, elk, bighorn sheep and mountain goats.

The gray wolf in the contiguous 48 United States had long been on the federal government’s list of endangered species, which includes both threatened and endangered populations.
