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.

How pathetic — even by leftist standards.
Morons are writing the news.
and advising Brandon
Wolves can mate with coyotes.
Oh well. We all have our cross to bear.
Somebody tell this fraud that US does not run west out of Las Cruces.
It’s western terminus is West Fargo, ND.
Brought to you by the same people who advocate for murder of the unborn and live birth abortion based on choice.
And more morons are reading it, and accepting it as gospel.
US10...
I hate my fingers!
That is just about the most stupid story I’ve seen...
The Three ‘S’ rule applies to wolves...
Well, then we’d better let 300,000 in per month instead of the sad, pathetic figures we now have.
“the Mexican gray wolf, which is on the verge of extinction”
The “Mexican” gray wolf is pretty much identical to every other subspecies of gray wolf and those are definitely in no danger of extinction.
Thread winner!
Leftards would say “she deserved it because milk represents white supremecy and bovine cruelty.”
Maybe there is a donkey in Mexico he can mate with. I hear they aint too particular:-)
What a tearjerker. This is almost as bad as reading about the baby polar bear stuck on the melting ice burg.
Good one lol.
The story about the animal kingdom now flourishing because there are fewer vehicle/boat transportation due to the lockdowns is a runner up.
