New Road Crossings Help Save World’s Rarest Wolf
From SierraClub.org:
In September 2023, a male red wolf picked up a scent. He followed it toward a wide-open stretch of asphalt in North Carolina’s Alligator River Wildlife Refuge. Jackpot! He found a dead bear—plenty of food for himself and his family. But as he sniffed around, a vehicle appeared out of nowhere. By the time he realized the danger, it was too late to run. The car struck and killed him.
These were the final moments of a red wolf some called “Airplane Ears,” for the way one of his ears veered at an angle.
