Exterminated as vermin, gray wolves (Canis lupus) vanished from Mexico to the Arctic by the 1930s. The loss of habitat also caused lower numbers of wolves.
The wolves were listed as an endangered species in 1973.
In 1995, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service airlifted 66 wolves from Canada in an experiment to repopulate Yellowstone National Park and Idaho’s wilderness areas. It caused some controversy.
A few wolves have crossed the border into Montana by themselves and formed packs.
In February 2008, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said the gray wolf was “thriving” in the northern Rockies. The organization removed the northern Rockies gray wolf from the endangered list on May 4, 2009.
The Interior Department reports that there are about 1,500 wolves now roaming in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.

Kim Yu-Na was born in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. She was born with a talent that no other female skater has. Yes, she is pretty and a queen all over the world, but she also is the best skater in the whole world. She came to Toronto in 2006 to practice, because in Korea, she is a big, and I mean big, superstar.

She is the world champion skater and a queen to the entire nation of Korea and the whole world, except Japan. She entered the 2010 Vancouver Olympics with her coach Brian Orser. He helped Kim do better jumping, which is a very hard thing to do in figure skating.

Kim, who is 19 years old, brought the first gold medal to Korea while also breaking the world record for the highest score, 228.56.
