I was thinking about all of the heads on the wall at Litchfield, again. I found it very interesting that the original Litchfield founder attempted to bring foreign animals to the Adirondaks, but failed.What determines if an animal will survive in a given habitat? There are many factors that could affect this.
Seeing the wolves at the refuge made me think about the potential of reintroducing the wolf to the Park. These are animals that haven't inhabited the Park in decades. The Park could have environmentally changed enough during the time of their absence, that maybe they can't survive like they used to. It would be interesting to know if this is something the policy makers are taking into account when debating over weather to reintroduce the old top predator of the Park.
