  • Seth Burnett writes, 'As a photographer I always take my camera with me when I go for a walk or bike ride. This time I was able to get a shot of this endangered red wolf in North Naples.'
  • Edythe Harney writes, 'We sighted this wolf today at the Kraft complex Pine Ridge Road. The wolf has a torn left ear and a head injury. Shy Wolf Sanctuary was called but only confirmed it a wolf and took pictures. I recollect a picture in the NDN of a wolf in Naples Park. It may be the same one. Could you pass it on to the journalist that wrote that story ? I hope the wolf gets the medical attention it needs.'
