Wolves are a hotly debated topic around the Upper Peninsula. But, love them or hate them, they're here. What many people didn't expect, however, is that those very wolves would expand their numbers to the point that they're finding their way to the Lower Peninsula.

Excerpt: Brian Roell, the state's wolf expert, said he thinks that its pink nose, white toenails and white mottling on the roof of the mouth suggest that the animal most likely was a domestic dog or a hybrid wolf-dog.
But Roell added that other wolf sightings and trail camera photographs of what appear to be wolves in the same area have persuaded the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to try to trap and radio collar some this summer.
