Right. I mean, when the cats won and you got a pack of eight waiting. Right, right, right. But we documented a case where the wolves treat a cat and it couldn't stay up with the tree any longer. It was on a skinny lodge pole and it was sliding down. And as soon as it got to the ground, they killed it and they just ripped it apart and they didn't eat any of it. Wow.
It's strictly to vanquish a competitor, just like the tiger.
Well, they had better options. Have you ever eaten mottlion?
Like the backstrap of a lion.
It looks like a pork tenderloin and you cut it. It's very light colored. I've only eaten it once.
Without the fat.
Wolves apparently either, huh?
I don't think it'd be very good. They're skinny and stringy and sinewy.
Or worse yet, wolverines.
No. Anyway, no, I'm glad you showed me that stuff because it's nice to know the stuff is still out there and alive and well. I hear it all the time. And I hear about the Canadian super wolves and...
To a certain point. And then when you get to where it's so cold and Arctic that the resources, the availability to get food is diminished. Right. Like Arctic wolves on Ellesmere Island are pretty small and they're white.
They're smaller. Right. The Piri's caribou up there are smaller than, say, the caribou in Alaska. Because it's hard to make a living.
But, yeah, northern climate, like the wolves from Canada, most of them are pretty big. And same with the... everything.
Salmon.
Yeah. You got, I've been up to, to McNeil to watch the bears and yeah, my God, they're just enormously fat. They're almost obscene waddling around with their
They're so content because they have endless food resources. That's why you can have tourists go out and sit and watch grizzly bears feeding within 100 yards of you sometimes, eating salmon and you're under no danger. Why would they bother you when they have thousands of pounds of salmon in the river?
No, my question is, why did the bear bother?
I kind of had a similar experience. McNeil, not that close, but close enough that I was uncomfortable. I live with bears because I'm used to bears that have skinny resources and they're voracious and they're pretty aggressive in the fall. They can be because they're getting into hyperphagia where they got a good enough calories to hibernate. And if you keep them from getting their calories, it
It's you or the huckleberry patch, maybe, or you or the elk that you just hung in the woods the night before and you went back to get. That happens. People hang their game in the woods and they go back the next day and the grizzly bears found it.
Elk hunting on that island?
