A Bay State wolf

March
5

An Eastern gray wolf showed up in Massachusetts last fall. The wolf was shot by a farmer after attacking and killing his sheep. But the find amazed biologists, especially after DNA testing confirmed the wolf was a wolf and not some overgrown coyote.

The gray wolf wandered into Shelburne, which is in the western part of the state, close to Vermont and about 160 miles from White Plains. tjndc5-5et1jhvskr61izrj1ibo_layout.jpg

The gray wolf in the photo (courtesy of TJN photographer Mark Vergari) is from the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem.

You can find more in the Boston Globe.
