Earlier this year they had the first white buffalo in a coons age also. Maybe something int the water.

Has anyone seen that calf lately? I thought it would be ironic if it was eaten by the wolves they reintroduced.

It's missing and has been for a month or so I think. It may well have been eaten. But then again, a white buffalo is a rarely seen thing so who knows.

I've seen triplets in black bears multiple times, same with cougers. 5 is unheard of, that sow must be party jersey!

Is it possible that the sow bear had picked up another set of cubs from a dead sow?
Its not unheard of, momma bears taking on an orphan.
