Proposed evaluation of the ecological potential of the Big Bend Ecosystem to support a reintroduced population of Mexican wolves

Bednarz JC. 1998. Proposed evaluation of the ecological potential of the Big Bend Ecosystem to support a reintroduced population of Mexican wolves

The Big Bend ecosystem will probably provide only marginal habitat for Mexican wolves (Canis lupus baileyi). The preferred mountain habitat is limited, even though Mexican habitat is considered. In addition, the deer population has been consistently low during the last ten years. Released wolves may migrate north to the Marathon Plateau, where there is a larger population of prey
