You\u2019ll go out into the park with a guide, whose expert knowledge of Yellowstone and its 100-or-so wolves (along with the CB radio they use to communicate with other guides and rangers), will increase your chances of seeing a wolf in the wild,\u201d Ben tells me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"\/subscribe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil=\"url\">SUBSCRIBE TO INTREPID\u2019S NEWSLETTER FOR TRAVEL TIPS, COMPETITIONS, GIVEAWAYS &amp; MORE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>What happens on a wolf tracking tour in Yellowstone?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWolves are most active around dawn and dusk, so be prepared for an early start (like, 4-5am).

Wolves were the apex predator that civilisation replaced across North America and Europe; they were almost driven to extinction in the <a href=\"\/united-states\">USA<\/a> in the early 1900s, and have only recently started recovering their numbers. Wolves were reintroduced into Yellowstone in the mid-90s, which has led not only to the resurgence of wolf populations in the park, but an increase in beaver colonies as well.<\/p>\n<h3>It sounds like a fun day!<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cIt is!
