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.

Good.
How do you know the wolf was looking for a female? Could it not have been a non-binary wolf looking for a transvestite wolf in sheep’s clothing?
And they didn’t even ask the wolf it’s proper pronouns prior to reporting.
Tsk tsk.
He would just bring home an anchor puppy…
I had a “friend”, who was in the service in the 80’s. He said they would do range walks because illegals would hide down range. He said they used to shoot rattlesnakes, coyotes and these wolves so they could have range time.
The first thing I thought of when I saw this, was how did they know the wolf was looking for a mate? Was it running around with a hard on?

PING to the Comments.
They look like a larger mangy coyote. 😆
¡Adelante!
If they aren't looking to eat, they are looking for sex.
They aren't so different from people, I guess.
Wasn’t AOC available????
There is a gap in the fence for Pete sake, plenty of room for mating!
Poor wolfie. I know of a few illegals he can court.
Never got blocked by a wall before but the friend-zone has got me a time or two.
