aww

[trashyourplace]

Thank you for posting this I hope this will educate people this was great. How about the way man has killed it's own kind the Native American Indian because they were afraid of them and they wanted the land owned by them, so they come in and kill all and take what wasent there's, see we could do circles in all of this however the purpose of this I hope is for us NOT TO RELIVE THE PAST we need to learn from the past. God bless the world

Extinction IS the way of life for ALL species & endless species have come & gone. Major extinction, though, are due to 2 broad factors: (1) sudden world wide castatrophes & (2) slow "natural selection" which takes 100's of 1,000's to millions of years. But within 200 years alone, HUMANS have wiped out 10's to 100's of MILLIONS of large animals like whales, elephants, tigers, Indris, Rhinos, wolves, lions, bisons... bringing everyone of them them to the brink of extinction.

[VioletteEstrella]

I wouldn't mind if a wolf killed me, just me opinion ^.^

[HenryDavidT]

How many tigers & elephants do you think are left today in China, Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia? NEAR EXTINCTION. Wolves, tigers, lions, elephants aren't raccoons or rats; being so large --- needing 100s to 1,000's of sq.miles --- as humans population shot up EXPONENTIALLY, from around 1B about 150 years ago to 7B today (pushing 10B in 2-3 generations), these large animals' numbers decline in a virtual symmetry. This is common sense.

[HenryDavidT]

Do you know how many lions & wolves there were, from southern Europe to Asia during Rome's height, when the empire controlled land ranging from N. Africa to England? Thousands to possibly tens of thousands, even in just southern Europe alone. How of these majestic creatures still exist in the "wild" in southern Europe today? Do you know there were so many big herds of elephants in Laos, it was known as the "land of one million elephants" when it was founded 700-800 years ago?

[HenryDavidT]

To say wolves are not in danger of extinction --- just because you have over 1,000 in Idaho? --- is utter rubbish. If Canada allowed unrestricted hunting, the wolves would have gone the way there as it was here in the USA by the early 1900s. Do you know how many bisons & wolves there were in the N. American continent 400 years ago? 10's of MILLIONS of bisons and 100's of thousands of wolves.... both creatures hang on by the skin of their teeth by the early 1900s in the USA..

Thank you!

great vids dude

[zeuserx]

For a follow up on 'cinderella', watch PBS's "Valley of the wolf". The Druids were in their golden Age when cinderella became alpha female. With #21 alpha male, they ruled for a long time over the biggest wolf pack ever recorded... 37 wolves!

[chiteach2]

Breathtaking documentary. I now know that I absolutely MUST visit Yellowstone National Park on my next vacation.

Thank you for uploading ^_^

Aw the 'cinderella' sister was kind to take in her sisters pups as well as looking after her own even after what her sister did to her.

[NickLikesToSweepPick]

If Yellowstone is truly meant to be a wild place where nature is left unmolested the park officials shouldn't have tried to save the former alpha female, nor any animal in the park for that matter. Let nature do it's job and don't meddle in affairs such as that, that is the nature of a wolf pack.

[pawneewolf]

Park officials had thought that the alpha female had been hit by a truck....which isn't natural...so they tried to save her. Later in his book Decade of the Wolf, doug smith states that had he known that the wolves were simply driving the alpha female out, he would have let nature run its course. The wolf was mauled so bad that park officials only learned afterwards that her injuries were inflicted upon by other wolves, not a vehicle.

[HenryDavidT]

@NickLikesToSweepPick The problem with that observation is that Yellowstone is a small, isolated little patch of land, NOT THE WILD. "The Wild" was the whole continent, now populated by 300+ MIL extremely violent creatures who have taken 99% of the land formerly the home of other creatures. Raccoons, mice, etc. are small creatures, so they can adapt. Wolves, bisons, etc. are large majestic creatures needing 100s to 1,000's sq.miles to roam & thrive. They don't have that now.

[NickLikesToSweepPick]

@HenryDavidT Are you fucking serious dude?  That was a year ago.

[HenryDavidT]

@NickLikesToSweepPick Yes, I am "fucking serious." A year ago? No, I believe it's a couple years ago. But that's beside the point: Yellowstone is but a tiny park. "The wild" would be llike it was when the Euorpeans first arrived in the 1600s. Henry David Thoreau was already lamented the death and destruction of the "wild," saying/writing he was born in the "nick of time," as the last of the great herds of N. American animals were being systematically killed off by Whites in the 1850s.

[NickLikesToSweepPick]

@HenryDavidT No, no dude, you're missing my point. I meant "are you fucking serious" as in are you fucking serious that you're bringing up something I said a year ago? I don't need a history lesson on the diminished numbers on the wild herds of North America, that is what I am well aware of. The underlying message of my original post was that of rhetoric. I lived in Yellowstone for over a year, and I agree that it is anything but wild. It is marketed as such to bring tourists...con't...

[HenryDavidT]

@NickLikesToSweepPick Time, sometimes, is sometimes relative. It's the MESSAGE that counts. I was responding to a message, the tone, of: Why bother helping when they're supposed to be living, making a living, in the WILD? Hence my retort: There is NO "wild" places any more. A few DOZEN of these big creatures are living in small, isolated parks, at humans discretion, so we have a responsibility to help, when they have problems.

[NickLikesToSweepPick]

@HenryDavidT That is incorrect, wolves are not an endangered species, nor are they in any immediate danger of extinction. There are now over 1,000 wolves in Idaho alone living on public land, not to mention the tens of thousands still thriving in Alaska and most of Canada. I don't know where you are getting this information from.

[NickLikesToSweepPick]

@HenryDavidT ...con't...From what I recall, the wolf in question was exiled from the pack and nearly killed BY the pack. Apparently it was hit by a car, okay, can't be right all the time, but assuming I was, would park officials try to save any other animal? Doubt it.

[plumeria66]

@NickLikesToSweepPick

So based on your premise, humans shouldn't have put wolves back in the first place. Look, humans caused the decimation of wild animals in the first place. So there necessitates intervention until it all comes to a balance. Wolves will never retain their former numbers...never. As long as there are ranchers and limits to the national park.

Saving a wolf or two isn't interfering. We have already interfered by being unable to co-exist with wolves.

This documentary was finished 1999.

I wonder that's the life in Yellowstone right now...
