Anyone catch that a wolf was killed in shelburne Ma recently. I find it kind of sad that this animal met its demise but its exciting to know that one of
mother natures most beautiful creatures maybe nearby. This was the first documented sighting in mass in over 75 years. A handful of sightings have occurred
in northern new england over the years. Most likely Algonquin wolves from Canada slipping down into the states.

Yes, but what pissed me off is pawning the freak occurrence off to a wolf pet on the run. Wolves have intermixed with coyotes for years, so we now have Super
Coyotes, capable of taking down a small child.

Being capable and having the want to do so are two different things. Very few examples of healthy wolves or coyotes attacking humans. You wouldn't want
mountain lions in the area tho.

I know, H. Coyotes loathe humans and only make a raid when really hungry or mating. About half the year. Why I have no pets.

What's the difference between a mountain lion and a puma? Someone in Manchester told me that his vet thought his cat had been attacked by a puma.
The cat survived. "Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one's life."- Anthony Bourdain |

Same thing, essentially. Puma = adolescent cat.

Pumas and mountain lions are the same thing, at least in North America. In fact, Puma is the genus to which mountain lions belong.

"the first documented sighting in mass in over 75 years"
Not to overlook the danger of wolves to humans, but it is sad what we did to the first wolf sighted in 75 years. |

Said wolf savaged 12 lambs, hence death sentence.

I like coyotes too but, wolves are my favorite. The coyotes and wolves do have one thing in common, they both have a hell of alot more teeth than your average
family in essex!

HowDoYouRate wrote:Interesting. I'd like to see that story if some link is available. There are a set of small caves in the vicinity named the Wolves Den due to their past history. I've studied them in recent years due to their unique geological characteristics. But the mention of animals is very popular in speleological culture; the big favorite being Bear's Den. There's a Panther Cave down in the Middlesex Fells and a Catamount Den not far from Shelburne. |
