Quote: "They came to him without effort
or discovery, as though they had been his always. And when, on the still cold nights,
he pointed his nose at a star and howled long and wolflike, it was his ancestors,
dead and dust, pointing nose at star and howling down through the centuries and through
him. And his cadences were their cadences, the cadences which voiced their woe and
what to them was the meaning of the stiffness, and the cold, and dark." Source: The Call of the Wild by Jack London
Fact: An "experimental population" is when
a species is introduced back into the wild, but in a different location than than
non-experimental populations of the same species. Source: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Mountain-Prairie Region
