Question 13 • TPS EdX Biology

A hunter illegally kills a wolf in Yellowstone National Park and attempts to bring the wolf's skull back to Florida. Which law is the hunter violating?

Answer
A
EPA
B
the Lacey Act
C
the National Park System Act
D
CITES

Explanation

The Lacey Act makes it illegal to transport wildlife across state or national borders when it was taken in violation of a law. The wolf was illegally killed in Yellowstone and the hunter is trying to take its skull to Florida, so this violates the Lacey Act. CITES concerns international trade in protected species, not this transport between states.
