"it was examined by fesral fish ans wildlife officers and scientists who did tests on the skull, hide and tissues. It was also examined by SUNY's College of environmental science in syracuse."

"Several months of genetic testing later, The National Forensics LAb of Ashland OR. determined it was a pure-bred gray wolf."

these are not my words, they were on the front page of saturdays times union (the capital districts paper). i would not have believed it myself (i am a skeptic) but the facts are the facts.....

Think of it what you will but Don't bother putting the word wolf in parenthesis, because like it or not it happened.
