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.
