At last count, approximately 76 wolves lived in Denali National Park across 8,432 square kilometers, implying a per capita of 9 wolves per 1000 square kilometers. In contrast, Delhi is home to 16,753,265 people across 1,484 square kilometers, implying a per capital of more than 11 million per 1000 square kilometers.
Wolves are for the most part maligned in our literature. Nevertheless, as far as space is concerned, they seem better off than us.

Wolves do have it way better than us. I've always wondered why they have been painted in that light all along in our literature.
Notice the name change and a change of direction of this blog. What brings that on?
Name change because this name feels more right. No change in direction. None that I am aware of in any event.
