Re: Why Wolves
Wolves are boring, over-marketed, and cliche. I like coyotes and deer. Deer are more aesthetically interesting for me, and coyotes are more clever, more adaptable, and can be more diverse than wolves. Plus they look cooler. Wonder why I'm here then...

Re: Sweden allows first wolf hunt in 45 years
Its plain and simple that wolves keep the deer populations down in the US and if we would to kill our wolves the populations of deer would rise. There are a lot of different conversations we could have with this one post, but this caught my eye. Can you point to me where in the US that wolves speci...

Re: Northern Rockies Gray Wolf Reintroduction Anniversary
Glad to be useful. For more information on both the Yellowstone and Idaho wolf reintroductions, Ralph Maughan has pieced together much more than the skeleton. For Yellowstone see here: http://www.all-creatures.org/hope/DOE/3%20-%20History%20of%20The%20Yellowstone%20Wolf%20Reintroduction.htm For Idah...

Re: Death upon capture
I know it may be a controversial topic for some, but without the collaring that is being done in Yellowstone NP and other areas is continuing to give valuable information to biologists. In my mind, you can never stop learning about something. Collaring in Yellowstone National Park doesn't carry as ...

RT Wolves Live!
Want to watch a live, streaming wolf cam in Russia, where a pair of zoo wolves grew and reproduced in the wild? That's right, you can watch as two new wolf parents raise pups for the first time out in the forest (it just started up on the 11th of January): http://rt.com/On_Air/Live_Cams/rt-wolves.html

Northern Rockies Gray Wolf Reintroduction Anniversary
Today, January 12th, marks the 15th anniversary of the reintroduction of gray wolves into Yellowstone National Park after a 70 year absence. It was 1995. The wolves arrived in crates at about 8:30 am, all flown and trucked in from Canada. At about 10:25 pm the first of 14 wolves were released into a...

Re: Evidence of blue eye color in wolf
Multiple pigmentations in eyes isn't really that rare actually. I'm not so sure about wolves, so I'll do some research, but I have heterochromia myself. Heterochromia is a mutation that causes multiple eye colors in eyes, and can be limited to only one. I am a photographer, and I do touch up my pho...

Re: How do wolves kill?
I suppose it would be quite hard to eat something before it is killed. But, the wolf might accidentally rip off chunk of meat, while it's trying to kill it, which may appear to be eating. Eating can be part of the process of killing the prey. Once the moose, elk, caribou, bison, musk ox, deer, etc....

Re: wolf packs
In the wild if a family of wolves were to pick on one of their own in such a way, it would likely be the prelude to dispersal, as Dave Mech mentions in his recent posting here (video link included):

Re: Anyone else hate Coyotes???
Coyotes are mini evil wolves. I hate them so much! :evil: They are just so annoying and BIG Wolf want to bees. LOL. Yes I hate coyotes. :twisted: This is what I worried about with WolfQuest. That people might take frustrations in a game and use them to justify hatred of other species of wildlife. N...

Re: Sweden allows first wolf hunt in 45 years
You make an excellent point but you have to understand the average human perspective ,while i to am against it, there are some people who will not stop even with a ban on killing the wolves until they think the population is at a "reasonable" rate, as said by Susanna Loefgren in an article. So whil...

Re: Sweden allows first wolf hunt in 45 years
Only the wolf population isn't skyrocketing. It's quite the opposite. 200 wolves isn't enough to secure their future. It's pitiful and it is showing. The Swedish wolf population is inbred. Every 1 in 10 wolves suffer from congenital bone disorders. This was the first wolf hunt in the region in 45 ye...
