by Cat Urbigkit, Pinedale Online! November 10, 2009 Wolves impact the way prey animals live their lives, according to a Montana researcher, who noted that the pressure from being stalked is forcing changes in elk behavior, such as being alert and watching for predators more, and grazing less. Pregnancy rates are decreasing as well. The researcher indicates that the same could happen to livestock herds under pressure from wolf predation.
