Not quite accurate. As a northern Minnesota native I can assure you that there were plenty of wolves in the US long before the Yellowstone reintroduction. It may well be true that all of the western wolves came from Yellowstone (or natural movement from Canada though).

My wife and I are going to The Fort Lauderdale area next week for a week and I want to catch a peacock bass ( better yet-lots of them). If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it. This could be a canal to try, a guide or whatever works. A year ago I tied several gamechangers for a...

Many thousands of snow geese in air at Columbia National Wildlife Refuge this morning. These pictures don’t begin to capture the sheer numbers ( and the volume of their sounds)
