THE BIG BAD WOLVES OF NORTH CAROLINA
WELCOME TO A HOWLING WEEK

April Benton and Nancy Rountree
Dear Parents, We are excited to explore the Red Wolf Population with your child this week. The Red Wolves are POWERful animals but have dwindled in numbers. Our camp theme this year is Power. We believe that Power is strength and physical might. Power is the ability to overcome obstacles and continue to survive. Being tough is being powerful. Someone or something that is powerful is able have a great influence on others. Francis Bacon said, Knowledge is power. The more we know, the more power we can have to influence others. To have power is to inspire others to do the right thing.Power is strength and physical might. Power is the ability to overcome obstacles and continue to survive. Being tough is being powerful. This week your child will learn about the history of the Red Wolf. We will explore myths of the red wolf. Compare the Red Wolves with the fictional wolves. Your child will use the information to create a powerful PSA in support of the Red Wolves. In order to help your child discover more about the Red Wolves join the Red Wolf Recovery Program on Facebook. In addition you can attend Summer Howlings at Alligator River for $7.00 per person on Only one of five pups survived at the Wednesday during the summer from Alligator Refuge in 2013 because of bacterial and viral infections. 7-9:30. Visit http://www.fws.gov/ alligatorriver/spec.html for more information.

The Endangered Species
At camp we have learned about Red Wolves, an endangered animal in North Carolina, but there are endangered animals in different environments around the world. In the African Savanna some endangered species include the African Elephant, Black Rhino, Lion, and Grevys Zebra. Poison Dart Frogs, Golden Lion Tamarins, Jaguars, Three-toed Sloths, and Hyacinth Macaws are endangered species that make their home in the Amazon of South America. In The Great Barrier Reef of Australia, the Humpbacked Whales, Corals, Green Sea Turtles, and Dugongs are trying to survive and increase in number. Habitat loss, pollution, introduced species, global warming, farms, and poaching are some of the threats facing these animals today. Some of these threats are the same ones the Red Wolves face right here at home. Can we help these other species too? There are some things you can do. You can learn about animals, help them, and share your ideas. Visit zoos, nature reserves, and national
parks and learn as much as you can about endangered species. Share what you learn with your friends, parents, teachers, and maybe even the president! Help feed animals in your yard by making a bird feeder. Recycle when ever you can. Power plants pollute the environment, so turn off your lights when you don't need them to help endangered species. To learn more about these endangered animals, the threats they face, and ways you can help, please visit this web site: http:// www.sheppardsoftware.com/content/ animals/kidscorner/ endangered_animals/overview.htm. If you want to let the President know what you have learned, you can send him a letter to this address: The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500
POINTS TO PONDER
Fairy tales distort the images of animals to make their stories more interesting. Red Wolf volunteers are greatly rewarded for their time. Allowing people to kill coyotes at night is destroying the red wolf population because of mistaken identity. Humans have created the extinction of animals.
HOWLING WEBSITES
http://www.arcadeboss.com/game-1936-18-Create-A-Wolf.html Use the available dress up options to create your own wolf. http://www.wolfquest.org/ An immersive, 3D wildlife simulation game, WolfQuest challenges players to learn about wolf ecology by living the life of a wild wolf in Yellowstone National Park. The single-player game consists of two episodes. In the first episode, Amethyst Mountain, players explore the wilderness, hunt elk, and encounter stranger wolves in a quest to find a mate. In the newly released second episode, Slough Creek, players find a den, establish a territory, raise pups and defend them from predators such as coyotes and grizzly bears. Online multiplayer games let up to five players form a pack to explore and hunt together. The WolfQuest experience goes beyond the game with an active online community where you can discuss the game with other players, chat with wolf biologists, and share artwork and stories about wolves. For up-to-date WolfQuest news and discussion, as well as game tips and help, be sure to visit the WolfQuest Community Forums. http://www.wolfquest.org/classroom_activities.php#wolf_recovery This site has lots of wolf activities, games, simulations, articles, and opportunities for research. http://www.wolf.org/wolves/learn/educator/gwgm/pdfs/gwgm_sec2.pdf From the International Wolf center, this site is about exploring the social and biological issues of wolf survival. It includes games and maps. http://www.wolf.org/wolves/ A great website to see information about wolves: videos, live webcams, podcasts, wolf logs, and a place to sign up for emails for news and events.
