中文注释：（网友翻译，有待改进，请跟帖发表自己看法）
在明尼苏达州伊利市的国际狼研究中心里，两只灰狼正在搏斗。从19世纪到20世纪初期，灰狼在美国西部几乎被消灭殆尽。被列濒危物种34年后，在1995年联邦政府成功的实施了重新引入灰狼的计划，这个计划帮助这个物种数量显著的恢复。在2008年2月西部的狼终于被从濒危物种名单上除去。

英文注释：
Wrestling Wolves, Ely, Minnesota, 1998

Gray wolves, like these two wrestling at Ely, Minnesota's International Wolf Center, were hunted to near extinction in the western U.S. in the 1800s and early 1900s. But 34 years on the Endangered Species List and a successful federal reintroduction program begun in 1995 has helped the species recover dramatically. Western populations were delisted in February of 2008.
