[QUOTE="Crockett12, post: 1522084, member: 35100"] Concerning the question of size difference and two different wolves! I'm no biologist but I do know the animals of the far north aren't the same animals that reside below the 48th parallel! Because of the extreme cold of the far north -- and I’m talking about 40, 50, 60 below zero Fahrenheit – it takes a far larger body mass in order to retain enough body heat to survive those temperatures – and that’s a fact! I’ve seen moose in the far north that looked to be as big as a house while the moose of Wyoming and Utah are half that size. Same goes for elk, deer, black bears and other critters – including the wolf! Before eradication down here, the wolves below the 48th wouldn’t have been able to compare in size to the Canadian Timber Wolf of the far north! Think about it! Look at the size of the Whitetail deer of Texas compared to the Whitetail of Michigan. Same goes for the red wolf of the southern states. A smaller body is needed in warmer climates in order to dissipate the body heat and a larger body is needed in colder climates in order to retain the body heat! That happened due to natural selection! Therefore – I believe the wolf that was eradicated below the 48th parallel wasn’t the same wolf that was introduced from Canada. [/QUOTE]
