Wolf (Canis lupus)

[Sully]

"They upped the number of guardian dogs, deployed electrified “turbo-fladry” and put on “wolf discos” complete with flashing lights and music. Critically, they hired Spanish-speaking field technicians to work with the Peruvian sheepherders, giving them intel about wolf locations and movements and recommending specific strategies. Ranchers were skeptical at first, but as time passed and the methods proved successful, more joined in on the project.
The original project area consisted of 147,770 acres; in 2011, it was expanded to 282,600 acres.
In the first seven years of the project, livestock losses were 90 percent lower than in the rest of the state. Only 46 sheep have been killed by wolves since the project launched. (One wolf has also been killed within the project area.) In contrast, between 2008 and 2014, the state of Idaho killed 576 wolves that had attacked livestock."
