There are creatures that have been in this country longer than man, and there are those that are fighting to make sure they stay as long as man plans to. In the small town of Divide, Colorado there’s a wolf sanctuary called Colorado Wolf and Wildlife center. “We focus on education, conservation and preservation of wolves,” says Darlene Koboble, the CEO and director of Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center. “I never thought in my wildest dreams I would be working with wolves. It basically started with one wolf-dog that I rescued from a shelter from being euthanized, because she had part wolf in her. When I rescued her, she was my inspiration to be a voice for wolves, because they’ve been one of the most persecuted animals in history.”The gray wolf has been classified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as an endangered species throughout the country since 1978. According to Fish and Wildlife Service, there were only around 1,000 gray wolves at the time, mostly in Minnesota. Today, there are more than 5,000 across the country, but there are disagreements on whether this number defines the population as recovered. “There is a big gap of wolves right now, and that gap is Colorado,” says Rob Edward of the Rocky Mountain Wolf Project (RMWP). “Colorado has one of the biggest deer populations, but it’s missing it’s primary top-level carnivore.”Edward said the RMWP’s primary goal is to introduce the gray wolf back into Colorado, which is on the state’s 2020 ballot. “They are as important to the forest of the west as a wildfire,” Edward says. “Without them, our wild places are impoverish.” In 2011, the gray wolf was dropped from the endangered list in Idaho and Montana. Wyoming also lost federal protections of gray wolves. Now, the Trump administration will seek to end those federal protections nationwide across the whole country. The proposal would give states the authority to hold wolf hunting and trapping seasons.The Associated Press reported Jamie Rappaport Clark, a former director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service now with the group Defenders of Wildlife, warned of an “all-out war on wolves” if the plan advances.“We don’t have any confidence that wolves will be managed like other wildlife,” she says.But government officials countered that the recovery of wolves from widespread extermination last century has worked and they no longer need the Endangered Species Act to shield them.Agriculture groups and lawmakers from western states are likely to support the administration’s proposal.“Ranching is a tough life,” says Martin Davis, a ranch owner in Montana. “It’s hard to make a living when you’re against mother nature. I’m a fourth-generation rancher in Paradise Valley, Montana. We’ve been here on the ranch for 45 years. One of the big problems we had was they re-introduced wolves back to Yellowstone. Early on, they were on the endangered species list and we couldn’t do anything but scare them away from our property. We lost live stock to wolves, and we’ve had some neighbors lose horses.” Wolves are now allowed to be hunted in Montana in three different seasons throughout the year. “My life savings is tied up in my cattle,” Davis says. “And when you have something out there stealing your life savings, it’s a hard pill to swallow. I think taking them off the endangered list nationwide has to be done. When that happens, I’m not saying we are going to kill every wolf in the country – that’s not the point. Taking them off the endangered species list is good so the numbers can be managed. I don’t hate wolves, but I can see the argument that they don’t want the wolf to go away again. But I don’t think that’s a worry if they’re managed correctly.”U.S. Fish and Wildlife have until March 2020 to decide if the gray wolf comes off the endangered species list. Officials will take public comments on hearings until July 15. 3887

The Trump administration is waiving federal contracting laws to speed construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall, moving the president closer to fulfilling a signature campaign promise in an election year but sparking criticism about potential for fraud, waste and abuse. The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday it'll allow 177 miles of wall to be built faster in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. A 2005 law gives the Homeland Security secretary sweeping powers to waive laws to expedite border barrier construction. Last week, the Trump administration announced that .8 billion in funds appropriated by Congress earmarked for defense projects would be diverted toward funding the border wall. Nearly .5 billion of those funds were intended for projects earmarked for the National Guard, while the rest was intended to be spent on replacing aircrafts and ships. 896

This is the extraordinary tale of how a massive, strange-looking fish wound up on a beach on the other side of the world from where it lives.The seven-foot fish washed up at UC Santa Barbara's Coal Oil Point Reserve in Southern California last week. Researchers first thought it was a similar and more common species of sunfish -- until someone posted photos on a nature site and experts weighed in.What transpired after that surprised researchers from California to Australia and New Zealand.It turned out to be a species never seen before in North America. It's called the hoodwinker sunfish."When the clear pictures came through, I thought there was no doubt. This is totally a hoodwinker," said Marianne Nyegaard, a marine scientist who discovered the species in 2017. "I couldn't believe it. I nearly fell out of my chair."How the hoodwinker got its nameNyegaard spent years chasing the hoodwinker sunfish before she located and named the fish. All cases of the big fish were found in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Chile, she said. Except for one time in the 1890s, when drawings and records documented the fish appearing in the Netherlands.Scientists say there are five species of saltwater sunfish, and they come from different places. One enjoys tropical waters, another likes the subtropics and the hoodwinker prefers temperate water, Nyegaard told CNN. She works in the marine division at the Auckland War Memorial Museum in New Zealand."This is why it's so intriguing why it has turned up in California," she said. "We know it has the temperate distribution around here and off the coast of Chile, but then how did it cross the equator and turn up by you guys? It's intriguing what made this fish cross the equator."The antics of this wayward fish are comical, especially considering how the species got its name.As Nyegaard researched the fish, she realized some species of sunfish had been misidentified. One species that was thought to be rare was very common, while another fish thought to be common was misidentified, she said."It had gone unnoticed because no one really realized it looked different. There's a long history of confusion about the species in the sunfish family," Nyegaard said. "This fish had managed to stay out of sight and out of everybody's attention. It had been taken for mola mola (an ocean sunfish) so it was hoodwinking us all."And a bit of hoodwinking is what it was doing to researchers in California, too.Scientists first thought it was a different type of sunfishAn intern at Coal Oil Point Reserve alerted conservation specialist Jessica Nielsen to the dead beached sunfish on February 19. When Nielsen first saw it, the unusual features of the fish caught her eye."This is certainly the most remarkable organism I have seen wash up on the beach in my four years at the reserve," Nielsen said in a UC Santa Barbara press release.She posted some photos of the fish on the reserve's Facebook page. When colleague Thomas Turner saw the photos later that day, he rushed to the beach with his wife and young son.Turner, an evolutionary biologist who is six feet tall, stretched out his arms to show the scale of the seven-foot-long fish. He snapped some photos of what he thought was an ocean sunfish, a rare sight up-close, he said."It's the most unusual fish you've ever seen," said the UC Santa Barbara associate professor. "It has no tail. All of its teeth are fused, so it doesn't have any teeth. It's just got this big round opening for a mouth."Turner posted his photos on 3545

The Senate passed Thursday a massive budget deal that would stave off the looming threat of a potential default on US debt and prevent automatic spending cuts to domestic and military funding.The a final vote was 67-28 and the bill will now go to President Donald Trump for his signature.The vote followed days of grumbling from GOP senators about the cost of the package and uncertainty surrounding who will support it.The agreement, negotiated between congressional leaders and the Trump administration, represents a significant bipartisan compromise but the vote in the GOP-led Senate has proven slightly tougher than some expected among Republicans.In floor remarks ahead of the vote, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called the proposal "a strong deal.""In recent weeks, key officials on President Trump's team engaged in extensive negotiations with Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic House," the Kentucky Republican said. "Given the exigencies of divided government, we knew that any bipartisan agreement on funding levels would not appear perfect to either side. But the administration negotiated a strong deal."On Wednesday, McConnell wouldn't directly answer if more than half his caucus would vote for the bill, only replying to CNN: 1260
