Romance is tough, even for endangered wolves. After
just three weeks in the wild, federal wildlife managers say a male
Mexican gray wolf was captured in New Mexico and removed from the wild
after he failed to catch the attention of a breeding female. The
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says the male wolf - dubbed No. 1133 -
was intended as a new mate for the Bluestem pack's alpha female. His
release in early January was timed to coincide with early-season
breeding activities. The Arizona pack wanted nothing to do with the male wolf, and it ended up wandering into New Mexico. Officials
say the male wolf has since been paired with a wild-born female at a
captive breeding center. Future plans call for the pair to be released
into the wild. AP
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.
