Here’s the deal: After Yellowstone opened in the late 1800s, ranchers near the park started complaining that the wolf population was feasting on their cattle. Viewed as a threat to the food supply and humans, the US Fish and Wildlife Service set out to cull the population, and it effectively drove gray wolves into local extinction and ultimately ended up on the endangered species list.

Just two were killed over the next 85 with the drones on patrol. But the wolves have also been seen play-bowing to the drones and, when the drones go down, the wolves tear them up.
