Meet a Grey Wolf

Hi readers,

Did you know there are more grey wolves in Canada than there are almost anywhere else in the world? But even though there are lots of them, they still need our help sometimes. Parks Canada works hard to protect the grey wolves that roam conservation areas across the country. Do wolves live near where you live? If so, remember to follow these tips so that you and the wolves stay safe:

• Do not feed wolves.
• Keep pets on a leash when visiting campgrounds and parks.
• Do not leave garbage or leftover food outside.
• If a wolf tries to get close, wave your arms to appear big and back away slowly.

Check out the April issue of Chirp to learn more about grey wolves.
