Minnesota wolf dispersal to Wisconsin and Michigan

January 1, 1995

Records are presented of three wolves that dispersed ≥200 km from northern Minnesota to the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, to southern Wisconsin, and to Michigan. This report documents that wolves cross major highways and other developed areas and that the recently recolonized wolf population in Wisconsin and Michigan could have originated from wolf populations in Minnesota other than those living along the Minnesota-Wisconsin border.
