Sanjay R Singhal, Ra SANJAY R SINGHAL, RA ENCOUNTER REPORT AUTUMN 1990 THE WOLF AT THE DOOR ADDENDUM There are several possible explanations to describe what I saw; all are feasible; all are…fantastic. It has been suggested that I encountered, in fact, a DM; 1 I cannot now confirm this. I have no corresponding evidence; I did not take any photographs, nor did I attempt to look for footprints, hairs or other physicals. In 1990, I had never heard of such a creature (nor would I, until the early months of 2012); 2 if anything, I would have thought it a loup-garou, or werewolf. 3 There are numerous accounts of the loup-garou, or werewolf, in Indiana, beginning with reports from the 19th century in Vincennes (Knox County), in the southwest portion of the state. 4 Additional encounters with a strange, wolf or dog-like creature, walking upright on its hind legs, were reported in 2006 in Vernon 5 (Jennings County) and in 2013, in New Salisbury 6 (Harrison County). It is not possible, based upon these reports, to determine what, if anything, these creatures were; nonetheless, their appearance and behaviour are quite similar to my own experience. If I were to base my summation upon these reports alone, I should suggest either a DM or a loup-garou…and still, it seems almost too improbable…and too fantastic. Another suggestion, somewhat based on historical legends, is the Waheela,7 a large, wolf-like cryptid with snow-white fur, reported in Alaska and Canada; a similar creature has been reported in northern Michigan.8 It is reasonable to suggest that I was visited by a white-furred Great Plains Wolf (Canis lupus nubilus);9 this subspecies of Grey Wolf (Canis lupus) is one of the most numerous in North America, and their colouring is typically lighter than other wolves.10 However, the US Fish & Wildlife Service does not list any wolf populations in Indiana; the nearest documented populations are in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and in Wisconsin as of August 2013. 11 1 I prefer to address this creature by its initials, rather than its full name. 2 For the purposes of this Report, it should be noted that I did, in fact, encounter similar creatures before 2012. However, I did not know what they were; I could not identify them. 3 Folklore, Legends & Tall Tales Authors. Loup-Garou Legends of Old Vincennes.

SANJAY R SINGHAL, RA Curiously, in 2003, a Grey Wolf was killed in Randolph County, Indiana; 12 via its ear tag, it was estimated that it had travelled over four hundred miles (400mi, or 644km). 13 The possibility that I encountered an Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos), which presents all-white fur throughout its population, is not considered feasible for this Report, as its habitat is very far to the north (Canada, the Arctic Circle, et al). However, the remoteness of its habitat is also reported to have made it unafraid of humans, as evidenced by historical encounters. 14 Regardless of the species, the behaviour of this creature was truly…remarkable. Wolves typically stalk their prey, and conceal themselves as they approach. 15 They certainly do not stand on their hind legs to look through a window, night after night. These are the…normal…suggestions. They are rational; they are reasonable. While bizarre, the possibility of a wolf returning to my house, night after night, to look in the front door, is not necessarily outlandish; truth, after all, is stranger than fiction. However, would a wolf, regardless of colour, stand on its hind legs, repeatedly, to do so? Moreover, if it was not a wolf…then what was it? 12 Donald Fields. Wisconsin Wolf Turns Up in Indiana.

Thus some classifi- cation scientists (taxonomists) were “splitters” and others “lumpers.” Splitters tended to separate groups more finely, whereas lumpers tended to lump smaller groups into larger clus- ters. However, there was no objective basis for determining which approach might be correct or more informative. Scientists who classified wolves in North America were splitters. Old World scientists had pretty well recog- nized that there were 8 geograph- ically distinct races, or subspecies of wolves in Europe and Asia.

Understanding Wolf Hybrids Just Got a Bit Easier BY MATT MILLER AUGUST 3, 2015 Follow Matt Eastern wolf in Algonquin Park. Photo: © Michael Runtz In a Nutshell: Eastern wolves, often considered to be a hybrid of gray wolves and coyotes, actually represent a separate species, revealed by the latest genomic research published in Biology Letters. The paper also helps clarify the hybrid origins of other wild canines, including Eastern coyotes and Great Lakes wolves. http://blog.nature.org/science/2015/08/03/wolf-coyote-coywolf-understanding-wolf-hybrids-just-got-a-bit-easier/ 1/19 11/24/2015 Wolf? Coyote? Coywolf? Understanding Wolf Hybrids Just Got a Bit Easier Unlike Little Red Riding Hood, most of us can tell the difference between a wolf and Grandmother. But beyond that: our wolf identification skills are probably not as good as we think. Consider the names bandied about the popular media today: gray wolf, red wolf, coyote, coywolf, coydog. Which of these are species? What is the real deal with hybrids? What does it mean for conservation? The answers are not simple, in large part because the topic of wolves and wolf hybrids often resides more in the realm of folklore than biology. A good way to pick a fight in any bar in rural America is to start offering opinions on “Canadian gray wolves” or “coywolves” or “eastern coyotes.” What does the science say? A new paper in the journal Biology Letters uses the latest genomic techniques to give a clearer picture of canid taxonomy and hybrid origins.

  • Case Study 2: Gray Wolves Sub-Species
    Case Study 2: Gray Wolves Sub-Species Canis lupus has 39 subspecies currently described, including two subspecies of domestic dog, Canis lupus dingo and Canis lupus familiaris, and many subspecies of wolf throughout the Northern hemisphere. Domestic dogs show a great deal of trait variation between different breeds. Likewise, wolves show a great deal of trait variation between sub-species, though they can interbreed. The Zoological Gardens of London for example once successfully managed to mate a male European wolf to an Indian female wolf, resulting in a pup bearing an almost exact likeness to its father. Wild wolves of the Canis lupus species historically ranged over most of the Northwern Hemisphere. There historical range is shown in the map below. Green represents their present range, and red represents where they have been extirpated from (no longer exist in that region). This reduced range is believed to be largely due to human impacts such as hunting, urbanization, ecosystem fragmentation, and intentional eradication of native wolf populations in the past. Other factors that may have led to the reduced range of wolves inlcude polluation, climate change, and extripation of native prey species. Populations of wolves are not all identical. Scientists have classified different populatons of wolves by the physical traits, behavioral traits, their DNA, and where they are found in the wild. They classify these populations as sub-species1. A sub- species is kind of similar to a “breed” for domestic dog. But unlike domestic dogs, these sub-species were not selectively bred by humans to have different physical traits. The following map shows the historic range of some of these sub-species.
