I think there's a huge portion of our brain that we never, never touch. And I think animals are more tuned in. I think in many ways, many species are smarter than us just because they can sense their environment more acutely.
The Yellowstone's been a great place to observe hunting. I mean, when I was working up northwest Montana, it's heavily forested. We never... Almost never got to watch wolves chasing prey unless we were in the airplane. But in the Lamar, you got scopes and everybody's watching it. And I've seen some pretty incredible chases.

And there's certain, in some packs, certain individuals are the chasers, the younger animals. And some of the individuals are the coup de grace. They go in for the kill after the animal's been tired. And I guess there was some older animals that are too valuable potentially to risk being injured early on. But they join in the chase and they know how to kill an animal.

So one thing I've always wondered, I don't know if this is with the morphic resonance, but that's something different maybe. But I've always wondered when wolves were first walking down from Canada and dispersing from Glacier before wolves were reintroduced and there was a very thin population of wolves out there. How do they know where to go? For example, there is a wolf pack in the Nine Mile.

It's a river drainage outside of Missoula. And this pair of wolves had formed a mating system and they had a litter of pups. The female was poached on Memorial Day, which is those pups are born in middle April. So they were pretty young. They were five, six weeks old. They were still dependent on mom.

And the concern was that the dad wouldn't be able to raise those pups because he's got to go out and hunt. And they're just being weaned and blah, blah, blah. Well, two weeks, two weeks after the female was dead, my colleague Mike, who was working down there, says, Hey, Diane, are you missing any collared wolves from Glacier? I said, Yeah, I'm missing several that I don't know where they went.
