pretty cool.. but she seems to be going too far north.

A Mexican Grey Wolf has made quite the journey traveling more than 350 miles from her pack in Arizona. Most recently, she’s been tracked outside of Las Vegas, New Mexico. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says the lone wolf is a one-year-old female who was born into the Mexican Grey Wolf Recovery and Conservation Program in the spring of 2021.
Oh, boy, can't wait for the complaining to start about livestock depredation.
The depradation around here (SW CO) is from FERAL DOGS that sjitt owners let roam loose. It's not that coyotes don't ever kill any livestock. It's just that feral dogs are a bigger problem here. Much bigger.
In six+ years of living here, I have seen a coyote exactly one time, seen tracks another one or two times. We walk for miles almost every day all year 'round. I think the long tradition of killing coyotes and rattlesnakes explains the surprisingly low numbers.
But I keep seeing feral dogs. More than ten of them were recently removed from the area, and there are at least five remaining nearby, with an unknown number of others that continue to be brought in or bred from these unneutered, unspayed, unvaxxed dogs. Bad outbreaks of distemper have resulted.
A Mexican Gray Wolf that roves farther north isn't exactly good news, but you can bet that the ONE WOLF will be blamed for all the livestock damage that ex-domestic dogs do! Put the blame where it lies: people who don't keep their dogs confined.
I wonder if she'll cross paths with the moose that traveled too far south?
