Losing my mind while doing some research for my creature design lecture that the closest relative to the maned wolf is the bush dog. Like there has gotta be a fable where the maned wolf took all the leggie from its cousin

To connect with nonhuman animality, you must connect with human animality. The path is through. Canine, primate: we all share a parent. We're all connected by blood and flesh. We're all animal bodies first.

Humans are animals. You were meant to play in the woods and forage and shout at the full moon just because it feels right. No TF necessary-- everything you wish to be is already within you.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the last wolves in the area were extirpated in the 1860s. this is incredible, wonderful news they're getting closer to the Lost Coast, and the redwood forests that make it hard to hunt them, and the thousands of elk who don't know what a wolf is... archive.is/8PkCN

Wolf spotted in California coastal mountains just north of Bay Area


A gray wolf was spotted last week in rural Lake County, marking new territory for the endangered carnivore in California’s Coast Range.
The sighting, one of the closest to the Bay Area in modern times, was confirmed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in and around the Mendocino National Forest, not far from Lake Pillsbury.State wildlife officials do not know whether the wolf, which is believed to be 3 or 4 years old, is traveling alone and looking for a mate or is in the process of establishing a pack. Either way, it’s one of few wolves documented west of Interstate 5 since the return of wolves to the state after being killed off a century ago. Other wolves detected close to the state’s coast have been near Oregon or in Southern California.

“It’s the first time we’ve seen a wolf in this area,” Axel Hunnicutt, state gray wolf coordinator for the Department of Fish and Wildlife, told the Chronicle. “Internally, it’s something we’re excited about. It’s ultimately one of the areas where we want wolves to be.”
