It is the first time researchers have directly observed how border fences hinder the Mexican gray wolf, which is on the verge of extinction
One chilly early morning in November, a wolf roamed southwest of Las Cruces, New Mexico, on the southern border of the U.S. He was probably driven by the call for survival and wanted to mate, researchers say.
In his search for a mate or for better opportunities, the wolf tried to cross the dangerous Chihuahuan Desert, a region he knows very well because it has been his species' habitat since time immemorial.
This time, however, he was unable to cross. The barriers that make up the border wall prevented him from crossing the border into Mexico.
“For five days he walked from one place to another. It was at least 23 miles of real distance, but as he came and went, he undoubtedly traveled much more than that,” said Michael Robinson, the director of the Center for Biological Diversity, a nonprofit organization that defends and monitors species that are in danger of extinction — like this Mexican gray wolf, whom they called Mr. Goodbar.

Keeripes... we better take it down then.
Sorry for Mr. Goodbar, he's have to find a mate north of the border. Per the article A female crossed into Arizona, and authorities captured her to appease complaints from people linked to the livestock industry.... She is Mr. Goodbar's mother, and she is still in captivity. Maybe mom can find him someone
He is looking for an American Girl so he can stay in the country.
Oh OK...
🙄🙄🙄
The wolf was searching for “better opportunities.” Is this the Bee?
That’s weird....when the lib media found out Sarah Palin was participating in legal wolf hunts in Alaska they had their collective panties in a knot.
He should have asked a Coyote to help him.
Yeah, Anchor Puppies...
If he wants a mate, he can come here legally. He has a grand chance for many mates on his side of the border. Count on NBC “journalists” to find an angel in a story where there is none.
A woman was going to the store for milk....she was murdered by a man who didnt get stopped by the border wall.
🤣
Substitute your predator of choice for “Wolf” and see how nice the story reads.
How about “Sexual Predator”, or “ ‘Asian’ Rape Gang Leader”, or just about anything else.
OFFS make it stop, please.
And we are supposed to feel sorry for this wolf acting out his patriarchal fantasies in broad daylight? Oh, wait…what does the Party want me to think about this? :)
He should have asked a Coyote to help him.
LOL!
Good…
You win the thread!!!
🏅🏆🥇
So there aren’t any Mexican wolves that are good enough? That’s racist!
