Grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, coyotes, cougars/ mountain lions,bobcats, wolverines, lynx, foxes, fishers and martens are the suite of carnivores that originally inhabited North America after the Pleistocene extinctions. This site invites research, commentary, point/counterpoint on that suite of native animals (predator and prey) that inhabited The Americas circa 1500-at the initial point of European exploration and subsequent colonization. Landscape ecology, journal accounts of explorers and frontiersmen, genetic evaluations of museum animals, peer reviewed 20th and 21st century research on various aspects of our "Wild America" as well as subjective commentary from expert and layman alike. All of the above being revealed and discussed with the underlying goal of one day seeing our Continent rewilded.....Where big enough swaths of open space exist with connective corridors to other large forest, meadow, mountain, valley, prairie, desert and chaparral wildlands.....Thereby enabling all of our historic fauna, including man, to live in a sustainable and healthy environment. - Blogger Rick

OCELOTS IN ARIZONA..................GIVE EM A CHANCE AND THEY WILL RETURN!

 
Sergio Avila of Sky Island Alliance contacted me this week regarding the Ocelot in Cochise County,Arizona that was photographed on a remote sensing camera. Both Jauars and Ocelots stubbornly "drawing a line in the sand" and stating emphatically that if we human animals give them half a chance, they will gladly begin to re-wild the USA..............How do we keep out the illegal human animals while allowing our native cats re-entrance into the USA?  That damn border fence is sure not the answer..................This reporter is not qualified to volunteer what the solution should be on illegal human immigration into our Country.........................I DO EMPHATICALLY SUPPORT THE RE-ENTRY AND BACK-AND-FORTH-AT-WILL TRAVEL OF OUR NATIVE ANIMALS AND PLANTS ACROSS ARTIFICALLY DESIGNATED HUMAN BORDERS......................GO OCELOTS.............GO JAGS!!!!!!

Last week, Sky Island Alliance announced that in partnership with Patagonia and the Freedom to Roam Coalition, volunteer citizens retrieved the image of an ocelot in Cochise County, Arizona. The photograph, dated November 7, 2009, was captured with a remote sensing camera located only 40 miles north of the international border. Today, Sky Island Alliance released the original ocelot photo.
