Minnesota is also home to many gray wolves. They live in packs in the state’s northern forests. A few years ago, there were few wolves left in Minnesota. But people worked hard to protect them. Today the numbers are back up. Minnesota now has the second highest number of gray wolves in the United States. Alaska is the only state with more.
