red wolves do exist in the wild at this point - but only because of breeding and reintroduction programs. they were captured and bred before they officially kicked it in the wild some 20 years ago. Now I know there's a wild population of them in North Carolina. I think they may also be...

Not to beat a dead horse, but I've found plenty of herps during "unlikely" times of the year before. I've seen a number of turtles swimming below the ice (all painted), found turtles in mid january (again, painted), snakes in late november, frogs ALL year long . . . snakehunter: pretty...

the last pic has claw marks

ditto. only peepers are now Pseudacris

anyone still interested in this hike? i'm probably heading up wednesday (and who knows . . . maybe again saturday if any of you guys can make it).
