• $GENETICRESEARCH - Genetic research in wolves reveals links between coat color and disease resistance, highlighting potential applications in wildlife biology.

  • “But the other thing of interest so, they've been learning by studying coat colors of wolves in Yellowstone. That, genetically, the ones who carry the gene for the black coat color, they have a different disease resistance to those diseases than the gray wolves.”

Bearish:

• $SCENTMASK - Skepticism about the effectiveness of scent-masking products for hunters, suggesting they may not prevent animals from detecting human scent.

  • “I don't wanna kill anybody's business, but I as you were with the wolf thing, I'm super skeptical that a deer or an elk is not gonna smell you Yeah. If you spray some junk that you bought from Cabela's on you.”
