The original video I saw years ago and what the wolves did for the ecosystem in Yellowstone is the very reason that for the past 11+ years I have advocated for wolves. I have written letters/emails to state governments & the states Fish and Wildlife who make many bad decisions - made phone calls - and spread the news on social media - I am now retired and I don't do it as much now as I used to but I still fight for them on occasion. The was a balance of nature, God created every living thing with a purpose and that is for our planets survival, when that balance it thrown off then eventually the planet will suffer. And no one government can be blamed because it's been going on for many decades.

@@Mr.Ut21 not all humans are. Wolf hunters were not concerned about the health. They were hunting for extermination. Still are. But yeah, many hunters are concerned. It makes no sense to not be concerned.

Thanks for the support! I agree it's sad :( but also I've been getting a lot better at editing compared to a few months ago and the channel is comparatively growing much faster now (although still slowly) so I just need to keep improving. Obviosuly I love the channel growing, but I also really like making the videos
That could be really cool! We made a video on a lot of the advancements from the first planes to modern airliners, but we didn't talk about the engineering that goes into more specialized planes like those ones. I added it to our script idea list! (Just an fyi, one of the reasons we're increasing our upload frequency is because we actually built up a pretty big backlog of videos to post, so this video wouldn't go up for ~6 weeks if we made it.)
What do i think. I think liberals in big cities should stop placing wild animals into rural America. Increase hunting season to deal with elk and other similar animals
lol, I have no idea how but UA-cam tried to mark this as spam (but I approved it). Thanks for the support, it really does mean a lot for us smaller channels!
One thing hunters do not appreciate is that CWD or common wasting disease, is kept to a minimum by predators, wolves.. So who are they to blame except for themselves when this really kicks in.. It is just one of the many diseases wolves minimise the spread of.
Since the reintroduction of WolvesSince the reintroduction of wolves in the mid-1990s, the population of the Northern Yellowstone elk herd is down 80 percent from nearly 20,000 to less than 4,000 today.
the video was very informative, however if the narration could be more clearer, it would had been easily understood. had to watch the video as well as read the captions to understand the narration.
hey idk if you will see this in time but im using this video as a source for my science project can i get your name so i can use it i only have 1 day left, this is a very well made video mr everything science
Like every single creature, from the smallest instect to the biggest bison. Wolfes are important. Nature did not created them for no reason. Yellowstone needs them as much as they need Yellowstone. As said in this short vid, the wolfes keep the ecosystem alive and thriving. They reduce the overpopulation of hebivors as elks, but also smaller carnvores as coyotes and foxes.
Great video. It is really interesting what the downstream effects are of a single change. Nature has the balance figured out if humans don’t mess it up.
Hunans messed it up by introducing the a foreign invasive species (grey wolf). All they had to do was sell some hunting permits. Problem solved, and the State would have made billions of dollars in revenue.
He's off a little. There were a total of 41 wolves released into the park over three separate events. One in 95, 96 and 97. I forget how many each year but if you want a more thorough video search yellowstone guide training spring 2021. I work in the park and need to keep updated, Mike Phillips and Doug Smith pioneered this project and Doug has an amazing training video here on youtube.
A brief correction - the moose is a natural prey organism not "predator" as stated in the 1:25 minute of the video. Overall, a very good overview of this keystone species.
I can't speak to why they want to get rid of these protections specifically, but usually it has to do with corporate interests (like if some company wants to get a government contract to harvest lumber in a nearby area and they don't want to jump through the hurdles required to protect 'protected species').
It’s because the wolf populations are booming. The issue this video seems to ignore is wolves don’t respect human boundaries and are leaving the park. In the areas outside of the park they are causing big problems. If you were a wolf why would you hunt fast and wary elk when there are plentiful herds of easy to catch livestock available, and those silly human even pen them up to make them even easier to catch and eat 🤷🏻♂️. A tag system leading to a substantial hunting program is the only way to effectively control their numbers outside the parks and mitigate their negative effects on local people. Everyone loves wolves.....until you have them in your back yard actively trying to kill your dogs and eat your cattle.
Because that allows the oligarchs to buy up and develop the remaining wild places in the US. The endangered species act stands in the way of unregulated greed and that’s why hey hate it. Has nothing to do with proper wildlife management or anything else.
@@joecole7122 No they weren't. They were reintroduced to the area, they didn't just put a none-native species in there. Wolves existed in the area hundreds of years back, until they were hunted to extinction. Then, a while after that, they reintroduced the wolves since they saw that, without the wolves, the other species would overpopulate.
To be honest I'm not really sure which part you're referring to as a value judgment. That wolves are good? That an ecosystem in balance is good? I mean I guess I'm valuing those things but it's really the beneficial (and empirically) benefits those things cause that I'm valuing.
The earth knows exactly what it’s doing. Every single atom and molecule has its place and function in the universe. Remove the wrong one and our world is no more
Out easr of Doubois there is a long grassy slope that runs half way to Jackson, couple three miles? In the spring when the grass is new, there used to be all manner of goat mommas and their new lambs boundin' all over. No more..... You folk in the WYO have our support,
The video features false information , therefore is not factual by any means, the story actually starts with 2 killing winters and the culls that took place before the wolves arrived, after the wolves arrived there were further culls of elk and buffalo. The wolves had very little to do with it and they certainly didn't change water courses, these were down to spring thaws.
Oops! :-) "The wolves natural predators, in this case the elk, multiplied." Oops. I know you meant prey, that is, prey is what you meant to say at 1:24 in the video. No problem at all. I love this video! I have taught about Wolves and trophic cascades since 2015 or 2016 and used How Wolves Change Rivers UA-cam video. If I teach that class again (Computational Modeling and Simulation) with the section on predator/prey models your video will be shown in class and be part of a required assignment to answer specific questions for their ecology segment of the class. Well done, Everything Science! Thanks so much...
@1:30 the mother and calves arent elk... they are moose. LOL #noteverythingisscienceIguess And your entire premise is wrong near the end. Wolves were never hunted to near extinction. In America, they were poisoned and exterminated as pests after large scale Ranching removed the habitat for their prey. The wolves switch to cattle and were thus eliminated because they now compete with men. Wolves have always had strong stable populations throughout the world.
I know they are elk. Unfortunately being a small channel that doesn't make money we have limited access to stock video so sometimes we have to use what we have access to. As we grow and become monetized this should become less of an issue. And wolves actually did decline primarily due to hunting (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1365-2907.1996.tb00149.x). The information about the US is within the paper (not just the abstract) but if you can't access it there are many reliable sources with a quick google. I'm not sure where you got the idea that wolves have always had stable populations throughout the world, as this is not the case. Specifically, in Yellowstone the were hunted into functional extinction (www.yellowstonewolf.org/yellowstone_wolf_history.php).
The title should be how wolves both saved and ruined Yellowstone because wolves kill everything but there also controlling some populations some. But a lot of elk and deer in Yellowstone numbers are really dropping because of wolves so it’s both good and bad but in my opinion they shouldn’t really put them back and it’s more bad than good
@@terrybuzzard3068 I think this because a lot of ranchers around Yellowstone in Montana have lost a a lot of cattle and nobody getting elk tags for hunting elk in Montana and Wyoming places like that elk populations are going down so now we got a good thing where certain places offer wolf hunts. And also if you want to really learn more about these watch the Yellowstone 150 documentary the dude on there really talks about them

& don't forget the native Indians 😢 Among them, more than a dozen tribes, such as the Pequot, Mohegan, and Massachusetts, were completely extinct. Between 1800 and 1900, the American Indians lost more than half of their population, and their proportion in the total U.S. population dropped from 10.15% to 0.31%.Mar 2, 2022
This is why I love wolves and would hate to see them go extinct and I also want to go to Yellowstone National park one day when it is summer because I live in east Texas and we're really don't like the cold unless some people that also live in east Texas that moved here from a cold place but I did not move to here in east Texas because I was born in east Texas and I'm going to die in east Texas
Can't tell that to hunters who want to hang elk heads on their walls and cattlemen that want to kill everything that interrupts them using public lands to raise cattle, ie wolves, wild horses. They want to destroy the ecosystem not save it.
This video took the most liberal/hippie turn. Obviously there’s going to be heavy regulations on wolf hunting so it doesn’t come to that. But wolves need predators too. Or they’ll be in your backyard soon enough… but you’re probably making this video from your condo in NYC….
I had heard this story several times before...initially in a documentary about the importance of beavers in river and water table management. Oddly, I decided to rewatch after re-reading “The Intellectual Roots of the Third Reich” from William L Shirer’s excellent 1959 classic “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”. Why? Because Hitler came to believe that Central Europe has become bloated, corrupt and overpopulated with weaker races, weaker political systems and needed to be “cleansed” through violence. He thought of 1920s Central Europe the way a twisted mind might view pre-wolf-reintroduction Yellowstone. But had it? No! I only mention this because the “upside” of dominance by a predator species as seen here, can, when applied to humans...as in “social Darwinism” result in morally reprehensible outcomes. The bottom line is that the ultimate predator in Yellowstone is the homo-sapien and when he achieves ultimate dominance and bends nature to his will by killing wolves to extinction the ecology and environment collapses. Over-dominant humans are in a sense artificially keeps a bay, over dominance by a single species avoided and balance maintained. Sorry if that comes off as weird. The events of this past week have me worried about how Americans today view living in a heterogeneous country with a liberal democracy.
Hello there, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" Will you today genuinely by faith receive Jesus into your life for salvation?

This is the effect of population balance. It is quite surprising how impactful it is to put an apex predator back in!

And also if you want to really learn more about these watch the Yellowstone 150 documentary the dude on there really talks about them
So, they saved Yellowstone from an ecological standpoint but ruined it from an economical standpoint, is what you’re saying?
@@hyenaboy7504 I’m regretting putting this comment because they do only bad to Yellowstone
@@TrippWhitney328 Not to the ecosystem, they don’t.
It’s a great video. But, dude, figure out your intonation. It is all over the place and hard to listen to.
Thanks for the feedback! This is definitely the part of my videos I'm trying to work on the most. Think I've figured out a better speaking technique/style for some videos I'm working on. Always trying to improve!
Everything Science nice! I’m really interested to watch it now to see how you went. Was worried you’d fire back at me there, but that’s a classy reply. Stay you!
i liked it and also my teacher used this in class
I'm glad you liked the video!
& don't forget the native Indians 😢
Among them, more than a dozen tribes, such as the Pequot, Mohegan, and Massachusetts, were completely extinct. Between 1800 and 1900, the American Indians lost more than half of their population, and their proportion in the total U.S. population dropped from 10.15% to 0.31%.Mar 2, 2022
That is so cool
I'm glad you liked it. Hopefully we keep coming out with content you love!
Wow this is the best one yet!
I'm glad you liked it, you're support really does mean a lot to us smaller UA-camrs!
I rlly hate the ppl who to kill wolfs 😡
Save the Wolves!!
This is why I love wolves and would hate to see them go extinct and I also want to go to Yellowstone National park one day when it is summer because I live in east Texas and we're really don't like the cold unless some people that also live in east Texas that moved here from a cold place but I did not move to here in east Texas because I was born in east Texas and I'm going to die in east Texas
Amazing how fragile ✌🙂
How did wolf become extinct
Mostly because of hunters (from back before they were protected or when their protection wasn't enforced)
The gray wolf is definitly not extinct.
Can't tell that to hunters who want to hang elk heads on their walls and cattlemen that want to kill everything that interrupts them using public lands to raise cattle, ie wolves, wild horses. They want to destroy the ecosystem not save it.
It was 34
This video took the most liberal/hippie turn. Obviously there’s going to be heavy regulations on wolf hunting so it doesn’t come to that. But wolves need predators too. Or they’ll be in your backyard soon enough… but you’re probably making this video from your condo in NYC….
Wow humans can not appreciate how much the wolves have done to that park they are lucky wolves are there rather than hunting them
Bravo!
Thanks!
Wolves must be a cure-
Wolves look cool!!
Who else came here from a science/Geography assignment.
I had heard this story several times before...initially in a documentary about the importance of beavers in river and water table management.
Oddly, I decided to rewatch after re-reading “The Intellectual Roots of the Third Reich” from William L Shirer’s excellent 1959 classic “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”. Why? Because Hitler came to believe that Central Europe has become bloated, corrupt and overpopulated with weaker races, weaker political systems and needed to be “cleansed” through violence. He thought of 1920s Central Europe the way a twisted mind might view pre-wolf-reintroduction Yellowstone. But had it? No!
I only mention this because the “upside” of dominance by a predator species as seen here, can, when applied to humans...as in “social Darwinism” result in morally reprehensible outcomes.
The bottom line is that the ultimate predator in Yellowstone is the homo-sapien and when he achieves ultimate dominance and bends nature to his will by killing wolves to extinction the ecology and environment collapses. Over-dominant humans are in a sense artificially keeps a bay, over dominance by a single species avoided and balance maintained.
Sorry if that comes off as weird. The events of this past week have me worried about how Americans today view living in a heterogeneous country with a liberal democracy.
Elk prey on wolves??? Oopsies… a little mistake there. You called elk predators… 🤔
Legendary in RDR 2
It's very important for the future that we have predators on a volcano that will eventually explode.
I love wolves love your vids to keep it up 👍 🎉
Amazing creatures
41 wolves...
Hello there, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" Will you today genuinely by faith receive Jesus into your life for salvation?
