Wandering Gray Wolf Caught on Camera in California. First in 80 years | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1429178 United States 01/05/2012 09:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you for this uplifting story. I followed the re-introduction of the Gray Wolf in the '90's. from the link: "Since OR-7 left his pack, he has meandered more than 700 miles across mountains, deserts, and major highways to southwestern Oregon and onto Northern California. A conservation group has dubbed him Journey, a name picked from a list of entries sent by children as far away as Finland. Oregon Wild said it was part of an effort to make the wolf too famous to kill." Apparently this 2 year old is looking for a mate. I wish him good luck and a safe journey. |

JackedVegan User ID: 6737392 United States 01/05/2012 09:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Pretty amazing. I wonder if there are others? Quoting: Storm* [link to www.msnbc.msn.com] Though the 2-year-old wolf was captured and fitted with the collar by a state biologist last spring, OR-7 was not photographed. The animal made headlines last month when it wandered into the southern Cascade Range, becoming the first wolf in southwestern Oregon since 1946. Last week, he crossed into California, which has not seen a wolf in more than 80 years. Tracking data on Wednesday showed the wolf was staying out of trouble in a forested section of the Cascade Range in Northern California and appeared to be heading south, said Mark Stopher of the California Department of Fish and Game. Good Karma for you! Wolves are incredibly beautiful -- my wolf-hybrid pup is a tenacious little bugger, too! |

I hope he finds a pack. I imagine your wolf hybrid is a hand full, most are! |

I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

I am sure he was just playing with you. Nobody ever taught him not to play with his food. His name was Pepper, because that's what he looked like...I was trying to play with him and dad got to him just in time...I was like 7-8...he got rid of him after that of course...they are pretty behind bars at the Zoo, but when I see them in the wild they best stay at a distance :) I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder.

BRIEF User ID: 381742 United States 01/05/2012 12:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LOL, well if they were implying a parenting issue, is that to mean my parents shouldn't have had a wolf-dog mix as a pet? You bet...you can't take the wild out of a wolf...even some breeds of dogs eat kids, like Pit bulls and others that I'd as soon shoot as take any chances... But back to golf/tennis...are you inviting me to be your partner? I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

I don't get the golf/tennis thing. Pepper was chained up, and I was petting him like I had done a hundred times before...he never showed any signs of violence until out of nowhere he tried to eat me :( I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 7157228 Canada 01/05/2012 12:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hate the cruelty that humans are capable of. And I have a feeling that this poor wolf's days are numbered. Some sick human will kill it on purpose, just because. The park authorities should have left this little guy alone, let him be a wolf in peace and anonymity. He's a marked being now. |
