And she hung around for a while and then she just disappeared. And seven months later, the British Columbia Environmental Ministry game warden called me. He says, we got one of your wolves killed. Do you want to call her? Yes, please. Where is it? Puskupe. I said, oh, where is that? Well, it turns out that is 540 miles north of Glacier Park in seven months. Wow.

So we didn't know if the guy, a farmer, shot it in July. If they hadn't shot it, we would never have known what happened to her. But if she would have gone south instead of north, she'd have been about 100 miles south of Yellowstone Park. So clearly they have the ability to disperse that far. The other interesting thing about that wolf is

The other interesting thing about that wolf is

is when she went north, they got the reintroduced wolves from two areas, from Hinton in Alberta and Fort St. John's in British Columbia. And she dispersed past the Hinton population and ended up almost at where the Fort St. John's wolves were. So this little wolf, 80-pound wolf, showed us that it's one continuous population from Yellowstone almost to the Yukon.

It's connected because it's a walkabout for a wolf. It's not a big deal. We just didn't back then, we didn't have the tools to document kind of those long dispersals. But I just read this week that a wolf that showed up in Colorado that was shot this year, they just did the DNA on it apparently pretty recently, and it was from the Midwest. Think about that, to Colorado. Wow.

Yeah. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan. It just said the Great Lakes region. It didn't just identify because they're all kind of the same. But it was not a Western wolf. It was not from Wyoming or Montana. Really interesting.

The wolf that I'm talking about. Yes. Yeah, she was born in Glacier Park. We caught her first as a pup, so we know where she was born. We know the den. And then at about a year and a half of age, almost two... She dispersed that far and she didn't have to go that far.

I mean, if she wanted to find other wolves and start a pack or join a pack, she could have gone any direction, 50 or 100 miles and found other wolves. You know what? If you tell me why wolves do what they do and I'll buy a lottery ticket. I mean, I don't know how these things work.
