A wolf and wildlife conservationist has folks on social media concerned about his safety. Oliver the Wolf Guy (@oliverthewolfguy) posted a viral TikTok that shows three wolves at the screen door of his home, who all seemed eager to interact with the outdoorsman.
While the prospect of befriending such majestic and powerful creatures seemed like an exciting prospect for many, others wondered about the potential perils of doing so.

PHOENIX (CN) — For three decades, the Mexican gray wolf has slowly progressed from the brink of extinction to nearing the criteria to be downlisted to “threatened.” Now, a resolution in the Arizona Legislature seeks to cut that progress short and demote the state’s less than 150 wolves to protect its more than 980,000 cattle.

“A deep chesty bawl echoes from rimrock to rimrock, rolls down the mountain, and fades into the far blackness of the night. It is an outburst of wild defiant sorrow…. Every living thing (and perhaps many a dead one as well) pays heed to that call.
To the deer it is a reminder of the way of all flesh, to the pine a forecast of midnight scuffles and of blood upon the snow, to the coyote a promise of gleanings to come, to the cowman a threat of red ink at the bank…. Yet behind these obvious and immediate hopes and fears there lies a deeper meaning, known only to the mountain itself. Only the mountain has lived long enough to listen objectively to the howl of a wolf.”
