I don't know the history behind this animal, but was it reintroduced to the environment after the original population had decimated?

Best i can tell you is ever since the reintroduction in 1995, there were only three packs. Now there are 11 packs and expanding way outside the park. One pack is believed to be in Colorado now.

If that's the case, I don't think so. The founder's effect would go something like this. The early American settlers were from England. English people have blond hair and blue eyes, for the most part. This is why many Americans today are white, in the sense that the current population is reflective of the alleles of its founders.

Dutch settlers in South America would be another example.  Thanks
