- <p> LUPUS REDUX

- <p> Conservationists have lobbied for years to reintroduce gray
- wolves to Yellowstone National Park. The predators, they say,
- are an important part of the ecosystem, thoughtlessly wiped out
- some 60 years ago. No way, say nearby ranchers: wolves are
- vermin that gobble up livestock and profits. But the terms of
- the debate have changed. A hunter has shot one of a pack of five
- animals just south of the park. If they are wolves, and not
- wolf-dog hybrids, they probably migrated from Montana. The
- conventional scientific wisdom said they would make the trip
- eventually -- just not this soon.
