Quote: Finland is Europe's most heavily-forested country. Forests as defined by the FAO cover 23 million hectares or 74.2% of the land area.

In Europe, Finland is a "forest giant", there being over sixteen times more forest per capita than in European countries on average. Finland's forests have been intensively harvested over the last few decades. Despite the loss of land after the last wars, its forest reserves are now greater than ever before in the 20th century, and they are continuing to grow.

That eliminates deforestation.

First DNA test is out, it was done independently from the official wildlife authority and indicates it's NOT a hybrid, it's a pure wolf.

But they're questioning if the reference material is contaminated with dog dna as the wolf's behavior wasn't normal and its paws smaller than normal.

ok this is not a Brag ,, well , not yet , but , it's been claimed that I'm a Hybrid .

not so much a Wolf ( no matter the Romance stories about me )
But between an Earthling and an Alien Race that were referred to as Angels by the Greeks .

Pee's me off sometimes to think I'm not Pure .

or maybe Cave Man

or a Russian Spy even

or a Hobo

You know what they say about men with smaller than normal hands.




They have smaller than normal gloves.

Adde I just knocked a glass of water off the table over that. Octo and Jay, does this mean wolves are changing their behavior?

And compensate with MUCH larger than normal toys.


Looks like one of those tiny handed guys needs some vïäģřå.

FIFY - That was an MP4, it doesn't need any img tags.

So it seems. We've had winters like this before, but this sort of wolf activities haven't been seen since for over a hundred years...

Have the sightings slowed down my favorite Maven and Mensch?

Well... A wolf killed a cat today on a yard on an island just off the coast some 100 kilometers south of here. Bad news is that the ice is rotting and it's not a great idea to have a hungry wolf trapped on a small populated island. More bad news is that snow is disappearing rapidly and it's impossible to track them anymore.
Although today another hunting license was issued much closer to here for that lone wolf stalking the fox farms in the area.

I would ask for a third opinion.
