FILE - In this 2014, file photo, provided by Rolf Peterson, at least two of three wolf pups, center, who survived the winter are documented on Isle Royale in northern Michigan by long-time researchers who track the wolves every winter by airplane. While the new pups brought the island's struggling wolf population to 11, researchers said Feb. 25, 2014, that one of the few remaining gray wolfs from the island was found dead earlier this month in northeastern Minnesota after escaping to the mainland across a Lake Superior ice bridge. On Wednesday, April 9, 2014, Isle Royale Superintendent Phyllis Green announced that authorities have rejected for now a proposal to introduce new wolves to the federally protected wilderness as a way to revive the wolf population.
