He is like will smith in I am Legend and we are the monsters.

Thank you! I've been trying to remember what his name was since yesterday. Can't believe I forgot.

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.

I love wolves and that is really sad. What's sick is that as soon as wolves went off the endangered species list here in MN, farmers started a bill to have a wolf hunting season. Their argument was that wolves hurt their livestock etc... This does happen from time to time but the federal government compensates them and then some. But it actually got passed. Makes me really angry to know something like that even got passed especially even more after reading that story.

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

Damn that's kind of sad

I have a cottage in northern ontario and we get wolves howling out in the woods a lot. Sitting around the camp fire and hearing those howls is magical.

On topic wolves are interesting animal.

In the Area where a couple of my buddies have cottages they found out that the Canadian Wildlife has a wolf care center. A couple of days ago a couple people broke in and set 6 wolves free.

Oh, you think darkness is your ally. You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but BLINDING!

It's just an animal.

So are you.

And wolves are important animals in controlling Elk population, because of their disappearance Elk, deer, and other similar animal populations are out of control.

I just hope that if those wolves were being treated or cared for injuries, that they were well enough to be released.

I also hope that the location of that center allows for them to make their way into the wild where they can survive/thrive and not going to force them (due to its location or proximity to civilization) require that the animals either be recaptured or hunted for their own safety and that of the public.

A blind release (without knowing the status of the individual animals or any of the other important and relevant data) may be emotionally appealing but could end up being a death sentence for those magnificent animals who deserve better than that.

it's just me against the world

Well that's depressing. I'm going to go into an optimistic light, and say he just wants to view all 50 states before he's gone. I hope I see him in the VA.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

If there are no others left why would they release him? Its cruel but I guess its where he belongs.

He was part of a group release in Oregon. That pack is (according to what I have read) still in Oregon and doing well. What this male has done at least appears to be natural for the species. He broke away from the pack (possibly over a failed attempt at the alpha position or because he was an adolescent) and is roaming and looking for a new pack and/or mate.

It's not unusual or uncommon for male wolves to do this. The "sad" part is that while he is following his instincts, he has no way of knowing that there are no other free-roaming gray wolves nearby (that we know of) and he is likely to never find the pack or mate that his instincts are telling him to look for.

Bad for livestock.

And I am from Nor Cal and frequently go to Southern Oregon . . . for reasons related to livestock.

have you been to Lake Tahoe before? I've been in the middle of a staredown between a grizzly bear and 3 wolves. California's not all Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the rest of the Pacific coast
