Photo Shows Possible Rare Gray Wolf Sighting in Northern California

NBC Bay Area ^ | 6/23

Wildlife experts are keeping their fingers crossed this morning. They are hoping new evidence proves a wolf is living in Northern California. The information, which is not yet conclusive, shows photos from four trail cameras in Lassen County. Wildlife experts aren't sure if it's a wolf, dog, or wolf-dog hybrid. Gray wolves are native to California but were driven extinction in the state by the mid-1920's.

Coyote was my first thought, but I’m no expert.

Three suspects:

Gray wolf, Saarloos wolfdog or Czech wolfdog.

[b4its2late]

It’s as rare as a fully protected Hillary Clinton Email Server.

[GreyFriar]

Yep, a black and white photo results in a grey wolf.

[goldstategop]

Nah. Can’t be a sable GSD or Carolina Dog.

[FourtySeven]

As elusive as the truth from Hillary Clinton’s lips.

[rjsimmon]

Meh.

The real question is:

Is it Transgender?

[Crucial]

One of Hillary’s hyenas...

[Sacajaweau]

New evidence?? Would that include wolf poop?

So the next step would be to confiscate a bazillion acres to protect it.

IIRC, the DEC was caught cheating with wolf hairs...

And that one came from two.....so the hunt is on and that will take millions in grant money. ;-)

Just wait until there is a bigfoot sighting.

Environmentalists will call for a shut down of the entire country for a protected class specie.
Some will insist that bigfoots are human.
Bigfoots will be determined to be natural-born citizens. They will become a new voting block, and surprise! they are all democrats.
It will be acknowledged that bigfoots are underrepresented at diversity university and require affirmative action.

Gray wolves are native to California but were driven extinction in the state by the mid-1920's......

.....and there is a VERY GOOD REASON for that!

[Carriage Hill]

Well-fed.

[b4its2late]

LOL

As if constantly watching for mountain lions while hiking isnt enough. It’s not fun getting pushed further down the food chain.

The Coyote has very slender legs and even their winter coat is not this heavy....The Wolf’s legs are different from the photo, could be a wolf-dog cross.....read somewhere recently about the “Coywolf” in the east.

[Grampa Dave]

It looks a little pregnant.

[yoe]

Bigfoots will be determined to be natural-born citizens.

Brings into question the correct word for plural Bigfoot...wouldn't Bigfeet be more applicable than Bigfoots....being natural born maybe Leftfoots/feet.....

[dsrtsage]

I think more rare and super endangered species should somehow find themselves on celebrety properties

[Swordmaker]

Nah. . . It’s only a dog who thinks it’s a wolf. . . So it’s a wolf.
