Here’s another link for you, this one is on the red wolves. https://www.fws.gov/refuge/sewee_center/wildlife_and_habitat/red_wolves/
I live near the Sewee Refuge and enjoy seeing the red wolves that live there.
Thanks for this great podcast. You all did a good job highlighting how intertwined we all are and the need to work together to coexist.
Thanks for the informative link about red wolves. They deserve their own podcast and hopefully one day we will do one.
Very informative podcast and fun to listen to. Always wonderful to learn something new. Great job Bob and Gia!
Glad you learned something new! Gia and I also learned a lot.
Great episode! I had hear there were a lot of changes once the wolves were reintroduced but I had not heard how far reaching those changes were! Also I did not realize Timber wolves were a subspecies of the Gray wolf. I always thought they were separate. Thanks for getting my brain working!
