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.

It’s obvious the wall is racist against Wolves
Or maybe a RoadRunner!! If I was Pedro Goodbar, a coyote is dumber than a RoadRunner?! 🤓
Next they will be advocating voting rights and free healthcare for Wolves
Another made up sob story like the polar bears drowning.
Pardon me but...ROTFLMAO!!
Kicked is supposed to be Killed off. Fingers aren’t working...
No, the NY governor acts like Pepe le Pew. He came first. But none of those cats complained to HR.
Surely there must be a female Mexican Gray Wolf in Mexico.
Lighten up Albinson. He’ll eventually find a Mexican girlfriend in Mexico. Wile E. Coyote is taking care of all of the Senorita Wolves in the U.S.
It’s a Mexican gray wolf...I would say the border wall did its job. The American gray wolf doesn’t want them illegally crossing our borders.
Just the journalist putting a good face on Mr. Goodbar's horniness. If they said he was just a horny male it would make him sound like a predator. Which he is. A horny predator looking for a mate. That doesn't put a politically correct face on the situation.
Sounds like a Los Lobos song.

I’m heartbroken..
Then he isn’t the one to mate with for survival of the fittest. Did he get lost?
These left wing democrat media hacks are unbelievable.
Idiots.
There’s always a dating app.
But seriously, do we need to take the wall down so wolves can find mates? Are you kidding me?
Serious dilemma for the wolf; when the Coyote delivers the bitch she’ll be knocked up.
Could they put tracking collars on some Mexicans after they enter the US instead of just catch and release?
I’ve seen firsthand the damage, destruction and death that wolves can do to livestock, pets and small children, and adults wo/ firearms. Best to SSS any wolf you see.
