7:15 p.m. - 8:15 p.m. Alaska's Wolves - New Insights into Their
Behavior
Studies have shown that Alaskans know more about wolves than people who live
in the Lower 48, but many of our preconceptions about wolf behavior are not necessarily
true.
Research Biologist Mark McNay, of the Alaska Department of Fish
and Game, will present a free public lecture on Alaska's wolves
at 7:15 p.m. Monday, February 9 at the Wendy Williamson Auditorium
on the UAA campus.
During his hour-long lecture, McNay will discuss the following
questions: What is a wolf pack and how does it work? Are wolves
dangerous to people? Do wolves prey only on the young, the old,
the sick, and the weak? Can you have wolves without wilderness?
If you kill a wolf, do you save a moose?
McNay's lecture is the third of six weekly presentations included
in the 2004 Science for Alaska free public lecture series, sponsored
by the UAF Geophysical Institute and the University of Alaska Foundation.
All lectures are held at 7:15 p.m. Mondays through March 1 in the
Wendy Williamson Auditorium.
For more information about the lectures or biographical information
