Re: [at-l] Possums & More Animules



 The most 'unusual' introduction attempt I know of was the helicoptering in 
of Caribou to the top of Katahdin. In 1964 or 65 the Caribou were moved from 
pens at the University of Maine to Baxter, and plunked down on the table 
land. Sixty years after becoming extinct in Maine, Caribou were back! But not 
for long. Later that winter a ranger took a ski-doo up to Baxter Peak looking 
for tracks, but found none. What ever became of the small herd is unknown.
 That part is true. The part of the story that says the folks around 
Millinocket ate very well that winter is legend.
