Grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, coyotes, cougars/ mountain lions,bobcats, wolverines, lynx, foxes, fishers and martens are the suite of carnivores that originally inhabited North America after the Pleistocene extinctions. This site invites research, commentary, point/counterpoint on that suite of native animals (predator and prey) that inhabited The Americas circa 1500-at the initial point of European exploration and subsequent colonization. Landscape ecology, journal accounts of explorers and frontiersmen, genetic evaluations of museum animals, peer reviewed 20th and 21st century research on various aspects of our "Wild America" as well as subjective commentary from expert and layman alike. All of the above being revealed and discussed with the underlying goal of one day seeing our Continent rewilded.....Where big enough swaths of open space exist with connective corridors to other large forest, meadow, mountain, valley, prairie, desert and chaparral wildlands.....Thereby enabling all of our historic fauna, including man, to live in a sustainable and healthy environment. - Blogger Rick

Living successfully with coyotes

Your humble authors tomb to coyotes.................Whether they be the historical  25 to 35 pound "brush wolves" of our Great Plains and Midwest or as my friend Jon Way of Massachusetts calls our Northeastern 35 to 50 pounders--Coywolves(Eastern coyote). My case to my Southern California community to not trap, poison and kill our neighboring coyotes. They are like us human animals in their ability to problem solve, persist and thrive even when the chips are down. Let us admire them for their intellingence and function in our natural system.
