| Mexican gray wolf M805 |
“We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes – something known only to her and to the mountain.”
~ Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac
Aldo Leopold was born on this day in 1887.
