During the past two centuries, more and more people have spread out across the world. Wolves need especially large, wild areas to live in, with plenty of food.
Today, the wolf is classified as an endangered species in all parts of the United States except Minnesota and Alaska.
The endangered classification means that the killing of wolves is strictly controlled by federal law.
