An endangered wolf spent days searching for a mate. The border wall blocked him.

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.

That’s right!

The wolf had problems. But “coyotes” are not. Go figure.

NBC. 🙄

The “Mexican” gray wolf is pretty much identical to every other subspecies of gray wolf and those are definitely in no danger of extinction.

Several dozen subspecies. Not to mention them many "interactions" with other greys, coyotes and domestic dogs. If they want to monitor them, better they stay in the US anyway. Or email Mr. Goodbar to go a little further west and turn south at the NM bootheel. No fence there. Or as others, hire a coyote. Either to guide him or to avoid a return trip to traffic him a young female wolf.

Yeah, those Las Chiquitas Lobas are hot! That guy knew what he was doing.

Tear down the wall! Free the Lobos! Who is to stand in the way of la Amor!

[Allegra]

He should have asked a Coyote to help him.

Boom! {tsssss….}

[Karma_Sherab]

OK...so the wolf can't get no 'tang.......
Kinda sounds like me

[Myrddin]

The wall was intended to stop coyotes. Too bad that it makes no exceptions for wolves. Any excuse to tear it down to facilitate illegal activity across the border.

Tear down the wall! Free the Lobos! Who is to stand in the way of la Amor!

The NY Times. They've been advocating the canceling of Pepe le Pew. Treats women like a NY Governor.

"...He should have asked a Coyote to help him..."

Just a reach around The Wall will do it...:)

[Republican Wildcat]

Are you kidding me?

[JBW1949]

Yep...That would be an extremely close second....

[entropy12]

Was that wolf legal or illegal?

[skr]

Unless they are tracking every wolf by GPS, they have no way of knowing what their tagged subject is meeting along the way.

[Deplorable American1776]

Oh no, we can't have an endangered species getting kicked by a wall. Oh, Trump's fault if the Mexican Grey Wolf goes extinct!!

Mr. Goodbar? If it's a Mexican Grey Wolf, why not Pedro Gomez-Herandez y Rodriquez-Salazar? 🤓

Wolves can mate with coyotes.

That desert is really inhospitable to solitary wolves. It looks more like a coyote than a wolf and I wonder if they tagged it incorrectly.

[PTBAA]

Wolves are not monogamous, another wolf will take care of business.

Finish the wall.

Another commie lib sob story. Cry me a friggin’ river.
