Squaw is just one of the latest deemed incorrect. I remember seeing a lot of "Negro" - named features (Negro Jim's Creek) appearing in the late 70s.<BR/><BR/>I haven't noticed anything incorrect in foreign language based names changing - have any of you? I mean we still have the Grand Tetons!<BR/><BR/>Actually, I've wondered - Chas probably knows this - why the Spanish Peaks, twin volcanoes on the Huerfano/Las Animas County line missed getting translated from their Plains Apache name.

(Mt Titicaca on the other hand is acceptable.)<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I wish they'd leave the coyotes alone, but on the other hand, they're just making them smarter and smarter (through natural selection). In a few years they'll look just like wolves and enjoy endangered species status.Camera Trap Codgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052159376463794204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-77277225058868549212007-11-11T13:46:00.000-08:002007-11-11T13:46:00.000-08:00This one wasn't black like that-- more marked like...This one wasn't black like that-- more marked like a dark German shepherd. Let me see if I can find a link to an eastern "coyote" like it. These, which I have seen, have recently been proved to have wolf genes. They are bigger, heavier coated, thicker jawed than most of our locals.<BR/><BR/>Wolves are in and out of our neighborhood-- in, trapped, released outside it, trapped again. There have been instances of the two species' breeding together in stressed populations. And these are biologically stressed -- coyotes also heavily trapped and poisoned by the gov't on the ranches, even when the owner would rather not--!Steve Bodiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434597061701369867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-89634707329869511872007-11-11T12:14:00.000-08:002007-11-11T12:14:00.000-08:00I have seen a very occasional melanistic coyote in...I have seen a very occasional melanistic coyote in Colorado. Does black color necessarily have to mean wolf genes? I don't know where they would have come from hereabouts, especially back in the 1980s.Chas S.
