I attended a National Parks Service lecture in the Yellowstone courtesy of the Audubon Society. This was before wolf reintroduction. They claimed at that time that coyotes had assumed the behavior of wolves such as running in packs. "Time Magazine Jan.'98, reports, '... An ecosystem stripped of the wolf doesn't simply become more peaceable; rather, it becomes flabby and unbalanced. With the dominant predator gone, the next biggest hunter-typically the coyote-assumes the top spot. As the coyote population explodes, the populations of foxes, badgers and martens, which compete with coyotes for rodents and other small game, dwindle. Large prey such as elk, which were once brought down by wolves, begin to multiply excessively, stripping vegetation from highlands, and denuding riparian habitat of valuable stream side cover such as aspen and willow. And with few elk carcasses to be found, scavengers like magpies, ravens and grizzly bears, accustomed to dining on scraps from wolf kills, have to scrounge elsewhere for protein.'" o California Wolf Center.
