At some point, possibly in many of our lifetimes, the only animals left on this planet will be for food. That's pretty much the present situation in China. They eat absolutely everything that moves and there isn't much left of any of it.

Rudolf is doing okay in Alaska where he shares the tundra with around 950,000 friends and neighbors.
Maybe climate change is part of the problem...pikas are moving higher in the mountains and pumas are occupying parts of SE Alaska and Northern BC where they have never been seen before.

I have always wondered about caribou and Moose in the lower 48.
The arrival of moose has always been interesting considering the "why question " yes, not talking about introduced pops.
Alces alces south, ol' rangifer tarandus north.
What is the farthest south in historical times a caribou has been seen? Truly curious.
Another book, "grass beyond the mountains" has a few historical observations.

With global warming and putrid air in the population belt, Alaska could become very attractive in the near future.

Bloody buggers think they own the damn road in Sweden!
But the Swedes know how to deal with them...

The fish and wildlife service says They used to live in Maine and in the states surrounding the Great lakes.
The Algonquian name for them was Qalipu.
Louis and Clark county Montana has a Caribou peak, so maybe there, but they did exist in the Idaho panhandle once. (And the Spokane mountains)
Defenders of Wildlife claims some are still seen occasionally. They appear to be border crossers.

I wonder why?
Lizards are much more plentiful
And you can easily carry a couple weeks supply

It is terribly sad- but was predicted to happen. Just too vulnerable a species with too few #s.
Humans just suck.
As a side: I saw a fence lizard above 10,000 ft last year. Proof of global warming? As if the pikas didn't have enough issues. Now they have to share a rock with a Komodo dragon (relatively speaking).

Reno means Reindeer. Coincidentally unrelated
