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

wolves in the catskill mountains in NewYork?????? look at the attached picS CLOSELY.................READERS OF THIS BLOG: I.would love your opinions on WHAT ANIMAL YOU FEEL IS IN THESE PICS THAT our friends Rick France and Joe Butera sent to me

I live in the foot hills of the Adirondacks, I have hunted coyotes for years and know what the local coyotes look like. In the past week we have heard a lone howl on the mountain at night and when this animal howls the local coyotes start raising absolute hell. Last Friday my wife saw a big lanky dog come out of the woods by our garden and walk into the small field in back of our house to the woods. She told me it was as tall as our dog which weighs in at 120 lbs. I set up my trail cam in the back field and baited the ground with chicken grease. After 6 days, several pics of fox and a small coyote I finally caught our dog on film. Attached is the pics. Many of my fellow hunters say its a young wolf as do I. I would like another opinion.

Thanks Rick France

It looks luke ot could b3 a wolf. Really hard to tell from that angle. Whatever. A beautiful animal. I truly hope it's left alone to just live. I dispise humans who feel the need to kill because they can.
