Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Interesting and kind of sad really.

After being released into the wild, a lone male gray wolf moved from Oregon into the wilds of Northern CA. He's been far more mobile than other wolves and appears to be searching/looking for a pack or a mate (which he is incredibly unlikely to find, since there are none out there that we know of).

Also the article mentions a pawprint 5 inches across. That is not a small canine. He's a big boy.

It is kind of sad, imagining him roaming habitat that he is attuned to and that his kind used to be masters of, and he's the only one. Just sad I guess.

They are magnificent animals, if you ever get to see one or a pack, they can stir emotions and even instinctive reactions from human beings. The fact that we were able to convince members of their species to cooperate with us instead of predate us... another amazing thought, at least to me.

Wait, so there are NO OTHERS left? Like that variation will be extinct after him?

Nor Cal gets all the 'last of' animals. A couple of years ago, we had a special type of wolverine in the Tahoe area that was one of the last of its kind. I guess I've become a bit desensitized to that kind of news to think of it the way you are. That really is an interesting way to look at it.

:( I love wolves.
Why would they release him into the wild if he were only going to end up alone? Do they not have others in captivity it would be better to introduce him to instead? Wolves are social animals and inefficient hunters, surely its more unnatural having him out alone than keeping him in a more restricted environment, but with members of his own kind.

Not in that area, and not in the wild. He is the 7th to be reconditioned and released into the wild in Oregon, but those wolves have stayed put. O-7 is a ramblin' male and started looking for something as soon as they released him. He left Oregon and is exploring northern CA. No way of really knowing if he is looking for something or if he is, what it is he is looking for. It's common and understandable to think that his instincts tell him that there has to be more of his kind "out there" and as a social animal that wants to be in a pack and wants to pass its lineage along, he is looking for others. But that would be projection and speculation.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

The Dildact doesnt need to explain himself.

The Dildact is simply The Dildact.
