What a fascinating story! Thanks for the link, Ralph.
Is it possible (via the internet?) to access a site that gives the GPS readings and/or maps mentioned, thus allowing those of us in far and distant places to also track the movement of some of the cats and wolves being followed in your articles?
Articles like this, plus what I read, tend to confirm that wildlife is both more intelligent & adapatable than is generally believed. I have an indoor house cat that continually amazes me with his “innate intelligence”.
