THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN ABOUT APRIL 27, 2011 NEAR SYCAMORE PASS ROAD SOUTH OF SEDONA. IT IS A NORTHERN TIMBERWOLF. WOLVES HAVE BEEN EXTINCT IN THE SEDONA AREA FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS. AN EYE SURGEON WAS IN THE GROUP THAT CAME ACROSS THIS STRANGELY FRIENDLY WOLF. IT WAS NOT AT ALL BOTHERED BY THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE GROUP. IT IS NOT A LOCAL PET WOLF.
THE NEW YORK EYE SURGEON, WHO A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE, SAID THAT THERE IS NO WAY AN ANIMAL'S EYES COULD REFLECT LIGHT LIKE THAT.
TWO DAYS LATER I MET WITH SEVERAL UTAH RESEARCHERS WHO ARE WATCHING THE SKINWALKER RANCH EAST OF SALT LAKE CITY.
WHILE WE WERE TALKING A PHOTO CAME IN ON HIS COMPUTER. A TIMBER WOLF HAD JUST BEEN KILLED OUTSIDE THE SKINWALKER RANCH AND IT HAD BEEN HUNG UP BY A BACK LEG. THE WOLF WAS IDENTICAL TO THE WOLF IN THIS PICTURE.
THE SAME WOLF -- I DON'T THINK SO.
WOLVES HAVE ALSO BEEN EXTINCT IN UTAH FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS.
