No. Although the wolf survives as an endangered species in a handful of states, from 7,500 to 10,000 wolves populate Alaska — from the most remote wilderness region to the suburbs of our largest cities. Because so much of this state is undeveloped, with more than 160 million acres permanently set aside in protected status (an area larger than California), the wolf is assured of a permanent home in Alaska.

We are studying the Ashkenazi Jewish population because the population arose from a limited number of ancestors, and because there has been a long history of marriage within the faith. This has resulted in a more homogeneous (similar) bloodline than is found in many other populations. Please visit our fact sheet for more information. See similar questions...
