the continentalUnited States.But during the 1800s and early 1900s,wolves were hunted to near extinction(灭绝).By the 1960s,theU.S.wolf population was limited to a handful of creatures in small comers of thenorthernMidwest.Then,in 1973,a law,the ESA,was passed to protect animals from becoming extinct.Gray wolves were one ofthe first animals placed on the endangered-species(濒危物种)list.Killing them wasillicit.And theU.S.governmentworked to promote their protection.In a famous example of this effort,starting in 1995,31 wolves were movedfromCanadatoYellowstoneNational Park.By 2015,more than 500
