Red Wolf

False Cape State Park

Good Morning,

I was so impressed to read your initial questions last week!  I wanted to update you on a few things happening here at False Cape.  We have confirmed that the pups are Red Wolves, and we have given up on the possibility of finding their parents.  

Your teacher said that you are taking on different roles so that you can give me multiple points of view.  As business owners, red wolf scientists, animal control officers, neighbors, and park rangers, I need your suggestions on what to do with the wolves.  Where do you think the pups should live, and why?  My staff and I have to make a presentation to our local city council soon on what to do with the wolves, and we could really use your help.

Thanks,

Chuck Larson, Park Ranger

False Cape State Park

Dear Third Grade Students,

My name is Chuck Larson and I’m a park ranger at False Cape State Park.  Yesterday, a litter of pups that we think are red wolves were found in Pungo.  Our staff has seen no evidence of their parents.  It has come to my attention that third grade students study animals and their adaptations to their environments.  My staff and I hope that you will be able to make some suggestions that will guide us in making a decision of what to do with these pups.  I will share our research with your teacher through this blog so that we can all work together toward finding the best solution.  I’m excited about having your help on this project.

Sincerely,

Chuck Larson, Park Ranger
