Where’s his pack?

[Fiji Hill]

He was getting close. Lebec is 100 miles from where I’m writing this.

Was the wolf acting like a dog and chasing cars?

[reasonisfaith]

“no wolf has been documented in the central valley or coastal counties for 200 to 300 years.”

That 100 year uncertainty is strangely imprecise to be coming from a supposed science authority.

[reasonisfaith]

Maybe this is a special sort of dog comm.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Are these wolves normally roaming around alone like that? Was there a Mrs. Wolf; did he ever mate with anyone?

[beaversmom]

Poor wolfie.

[Navy Patriot]

A male gray wolf known as OR-93 was killed after being hit by a vehicle off Interstate 5 near Lebec on Nov. 10

He should have used the crosswalk.

The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives — Ned Stark

"In this annual time of reflection, I thank him for the hope he gave us and for a brief glimpse into what it would be like for wolves to roam wild and free again."

Umm...there's a reason they're not roaming wild and free, Idiot

Animals do not appear to comprehend the movements of motor vehicles that humans drive. I've seen a lot of animals besides wolves dead on the side of the road. Deer, squirrels, skunks, dogs and cats. You name it.

I'm thinking that we need to build "animal tunnels" under our highways, so that animals will have a place to get across the roadways without having to judge how quickly a moving vehicle is bearing down upon them.

[JBW1949]

There actually is a tunnel under I-40 near the North Carolina/Tennessee border this area is the Southern Appalachian Mountains and deer, bear and other animals are known to use the tunnel...

When and where will the trial of the driver take place?

[stinkerpot65]

Probably wasn’t wearing a mask.

[nickcarraway]

The general consensus was he was searching out a mate, not realizing it was unlikely he would find a female wolf in California.

A male gray wolf known as OR-93 was killed

That's the best thing to do to any not in a zoo or preserve.
