That's really cool. Thanks for posting.

Cool

Quintooopled!

My border collie just broke out into howls at the sound of those wolves. Which is funny because sometimes I threaten to send him off to live in the park.

Very cool vid.

[Chainsaw_Willie]

Good watch! I do kind of wish they had put in some "before & after" footage of specific areas though. I wonder if any old footage of areas just before the wolf reintroduction exists that could be re-shot from the same angles/locations today to highlight the changes.

[grskier]

very cool...
I remember going to a lecture about holistic management of wildlife and livestock by this dude out of Africa... similar results by managing the livestock how wildlife moves.

They should have a companion piece/counter piece titled, "How Ranchers Change Rivers."

Quinchivaled?

That's about the coolest thing I've seen in a long time

the Wolves were taken from Canada showing that Canadian influence in the US is a good thing

[Mazderati]

The clueless Canadian transplant opting for wolf extermination should be along to negate any positive influence.

[SB]

Wolves are kewlr than even that.

That was very cool. I am such a sap for the top tier predators. Hopefully the Idaho, Wy, Mt, Ranchers Association can withhold their negative stuff.

I found it to be full of hyperbole, but I have been out of wildlife management loop for a very long time. I would be curious to hear from wildlife research mags how accurate this is.

Waaaah. Even if it's only a slight change it was still for the better - at the very least it shows that reintroducing wolves to their native habitat isn't negative.

The guy is kinda kooky tho:

In January 2010, Monbiot founded the ArrestBlair.org website which offers a reward to people attempting a peaceful citizen’s arrest of former British prime minister Tony Blair for alleged crimes against peace.

Didn't bother clicking. I assume it is the video a squaw I used to work with posted on facebook a couple weeks ago, where some clueless brit keeps calling elk deer?

[Tippster]

Yeah, there is that... but in the UK Elk are what we call Moose:

The moose (North America) or Eurasian elk (Europe) (Alces alces) is the largest extant species in the deer family.

In other words to the rest of the world our "Elk" are called "Deer."

[JONG SLAUGHTER]

THAT'S THE DUMBEST VIDEO I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE, AND OF COURSE YOU RETARDS EAT THAT SHIT UP.

DEER ARE THE PROBLEM! NOT WOLVES!! LOL

[Shadam]

so if my dog takes a shit in a river, can I say my dog changed the river ...

interesting vid, but some real facts are lacking ...

I hope its true anyway ...

Right on cue.

The narrator may be something of a kook, but the science supports what he's saying.

But please, trolls, tell us more about how you know better than peer-reviewed studies from wildlife biologists...

YOUR FIRST LINK IS TALKING ABOUT ELK. THE VIDEO NEVER MENTIONS ELK, ONLY DEER.

THE VIDEO IS RETARDED, AND I SUSPECT YOU ARE TOO.

The narrator says "deer" but he meant elk, moron. That's why I called the guy a kook. And that's why all the herbivorous ungulates in the video were elk. Way to try to salvage your troll on a technicality that was obvious to everybody else.

You've gotten boring. I'm not the only one who thinks that.

Quinchivald! At 1:56 he says "in some areas the height of the trees QUINCHIVALD in just six years" WTF is "quinchivald"? It sounds like the Lorax talking about truffula trees.

I've tried spelling it several different ways but nothing comes up on the Google.
