Scientists Debate if the Himalayan Wolf is a New Species
Scientists Debate if the Himalayan Wolf is a New Species: Conservation biologist Geraldine Werhah claims her research indicates that the Himalayan Wolf is not just another gray wolf as previously assumed, but actually a brand new species of wolf due to their unique adaption to higher altitudes.
That said, it should be pointed out that much of Werhah’s research is considered quite controversial in that she frequently was seen wearing Little Red Riding Hood costumes in the hope it would allow her to get closer and then, after then winning their trust by telling them things such as “why, what big eyes you have” — she immediately began “barking” orders at them.
Of course, Werhah defended her actions by pointing out that when one is studying a wild wolf population, you can’t afford to be sheepish. Speaking of which, I think we can all agree that sheep is one topic these wolves can really sink their teeth into. And, not to be critical, but good luck trying to convince any of these wolves to change their minds about something — as they all seem to exhibit that “pack mentality.”
