The Grayling stands out as one of nature’s most captivating aquatic beings. Thriving in the pristine waters of high-mountain alpine wilderness, this freshwater species gracefully traverses regions spanning Europe, Alaska, and parts of the Rocky Mountains, demanding the embrace of icy-cold waters.

Wuerthner voiced his concerns about issues related to livestock in the region.
