Wolves and Bears Stage Comeback in Europe

[Still Waters]

Europe, the birthplace of the "Little Red Riding Hood" legend and the Big Bad Wolf, is now home to twice as many wolves as the contiguous United States, a new study finds, despite being half the size and more than twice as densely populated.

This article is slightly misleading, omitting the fact we have a black bear population of about 600,000 in the lower 48.

[Capt.]

They are manipulating numbers by omitting the roughly 30,000 brown bears in Alaska http://www.adfg.alas...earhunting.main , 20,000+ polar bears http://www.adfg.alas...ecies=polarbear , and 100,000+ black bears http://www.adfg.alas...=blackbear.main just in Alaska. Rumor has it that there might be a few more in Canada too.

It is not a bad time to go bear hunting.
