Primary and Secondary Wolf Habitat in Wisconsin

Primary and secondary wolf habitat in Wisconsin. Primary habitat represents those areas with a 50% or greater chance of supporting a wolf pack. Secondary habitat represents those areas with between a 10 and 50% chance of supporting a wolf pack. The remainder of the state is designated as unsuitable, with a less than 10% chance of supporting a wolf pack. The map shows 5,812 square miles of primary wolf habitat and 5,015 miles of secondary habitat statewide. There are 45,252 square miles which are considered unsuitable habitat.
