Maverick940: Brent: Possibly in Old Mexico there might be, but in the Sitgreaves reintroduction area which encompasses the entire Arizona/New Mexico population, the population is pure and no hybridization has occurred. So, I'm not sure which agency you're citing. Maverick

Thanks.


In relation to Mexican Grey Wolf reintroduced populations:

New Mexico Game and Fish; Arizona Game and Fish; Department of the Interior, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service; Department of Agriculture, National Forest Service.

Maverick940: Thanks for the general reply, but the request was for the authoritative source. Merely naming agencies involved with that program at one time or another is NOT naming an "authoritative source" regarding DNA. And, some of those agencies are not primary - at least one seems hardly involved at all by now. Which agencies have issued any scientifically authoritatve and definitive DNA documentation of the "non-hybridization" of those implanted wolves (as pure Mexican Grey Wolves), and please cite the document(s) that support your statement. As you may be imagining, this has been a serious discussion topic and some say that the documention shows other than what you state. I would like to experience your hard facts. Thanks


All the agencies mentioned have reams of data on geneticism and the purity of the genetic trait per the experimental Mexican grey wolf reintroduction program. If you have the interest in reading about the program and learning about it and the public process which is also involved, you should contact those agencies via telephone or by way of their independent websites.
