    That’s very rare for a sow to have 5 cubs. I know with black bears 3 cubs in a cycle is rare. Speaking of rarities I had the privilege of seeing not just one albino deer but an entire family of deer that were all white. The only one who wasn’t white was a little button buck running to keep up with his family. I had been on a cruise ship for several months, working on board in the galley as a chef and was home on vacation. My friend a landscaper had several rental properties he tended to for a realtor. I was home for two weeks and he asked if I could help him with his work. He told me several weeks before about the albino deer and I’m grateful God blessed me with the opportunity also

    • @kimmiesoo

      The wolf situation isn't as glowing as that. The 3 states that Yellowstone exists in would like nothing more than to hunt wolves to extinction. State legislatures in MT, WY & ID have passed horrific laws that allow for it, and will continue on that trend unless something changes from the federal level for wolf management. These beautiful beings need help.

And with people not keeping their distance from Buffalo year after year in Yellowstone, it wouldn't surprise me.
