I have never seen a wolf in the wild, except on nature films. If it was a pet, the wolf will probably have some problems. But in many areas of the world, domesticated dogs run in wild packs and do quite well until the authorities shoot them.
In some areas, wolves are being restocked. Do you live in the northern forested area of Ga. I loved Lake Lanier.
WAY-south Georgia.
no official wolf re-stocking has happened here.
otoh, we have dusky panthers, too, despite what "official" species range tables might say to the contrary. Not many of them, and I have never seen one, but they are here: I *have* seen their tracks, stropings, kills, traces, and scat.
there is a *reason* I go hunting whitetail with a bullpup AK47 with a 30-rnd magazine ;)
back to the Canis Family: IMO, dogs, coyotes, and wolves do not have sufficient genetic dissimilarity to be considered different species. That they don't often naturally interbreed doesn't matter - neither do Icelandic ponies with Shires, but both are still horses. Differences in temperament and morphology are likewise insufficient - there is more such variation among breeds of c.familiaris than there are between, say, a north american grey wolfe and a german sheherd.
IMO, "species" should denote a strict level of genetic incompatability when applied to sexually reproduced life forms.
but that's just me.
eventually, molecular biology will supplement/supplant Linnean taxonomy. until that time we all, laymen and scientists, shall have to just muddle along ;)
Not King Prout, but I live about 15 minutes from Lake Lanier in northern Atlanta suburb. Haven't seen any wolves but do see lots of possums! :-)
