Hello, everyone back to National Park After Dark. My name is Cassie. And my name is Danielle. In case you don't know our voices by now or you're tuning in for the first time, we are doing this week a little bit differently because we have something really exciting. That was Danielle's idea because this is kind of her bread and butter. And we know a lot of our listeners

are really interested in it. But we decided to do a wolf week where we are going, we're going to

answer all your questions about wolves, especially because Colorado just did a reintroduction of

10 wolves so far into the state of Colorado, which has made headlines, and there's been a

into the state. But today, we have a different type of episode with a different guest.

And we have someone who has worked with both the Yellowstone and Voyagers National Park

Wolf programs. So it's a really good episode. Our guest today is named Maeve. And she's a

wolf researcher who has had experience, like I said, working with wolves in Yellowstone and in

Voyagers. Mave's journey in wolf research began during her time as a student at the university in Bozeman, Montana,

where she actively engaged with wolves in and around Yellowstone National Park as a dedicated

volunteer and intern for the park's wolf project. After graduation, she was offered a job with

the Voyager's Wolf Project. For the past three years, Maeve has been working as a wolf predation and
