St. Mars, On Nature's Trail, 1912................. Quickhatch comes from the Native American East Cree language spoken in what is now Canada............The word was spelled kwi˙hkwaha˙če˙w................ It entered English in the 1670s and was earlier spelled quiquahatch................If we expect to have a sustaining USA "QUIQUAHATCH" population into the forever, then the USFW Service needs to heed the lawsuit brought against it by a consortium of Conservation Organizations............Gulo gulo needs big wilderness and deep persistent snowcover into the early Spring months for females to successfully birth their young(in snowcaves under deep snowcover).................The fact that the USFW buckled under Rocky Mountain States pressure not to list Wolverines as endangered is plain out criminal and ignoring all peer reviewed science showing that global warming is a direct threat to the scant numbers of the animal remaining in the lower 48 states..............As Jeff Copeland, Executive Director of the Wolverine Foundation stated recently----- "There is no scientific evidence to back up the claim that wolverine populations are at their highest levels and still growing"Coyotes, Wolves and Cougars foreverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05594002891926526543noreply@blogger.comBlogger1125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3113182078732942696.post-41053015490925533022014-11-04T10:02:54.608-08:002014-11-04T10:02:54.608-08:00I haven't heard "quiquahatch" before...I haven't heard "quiquahatch" before, but I have seen the term "carcajou" used for wolverines a lot....L.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
