Dire Emergency 🐺

Upstate NYers should be very concerned about climate change should the Dire Wolf return. This time, they won’t necessarily be staying south of the Leggs Stock Farm and the Pennsylvania border more generally.

“Dire wolf fossils have rarely been found north of 42°N latitude; there have been only five unconfirmed reports above this latitude. This range restriction is thought to be due to temperature, prey, or habitat limitations imposed by proximity to the Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets that existed at the time.”
