Joe Rogan Experience #2572 - Colum Tyrrell · Aired Oct 29, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Wolves were reintroduced into the wild in Ireland.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Colum says 'I think' they were brought back. Irish museum material describes native wolves as extinct, while the Wild Ireland sanctuary describes its wolves as captive animals, not a wild reintroduction. Colum later says Ireland has no wolves at 2:38:47. That later reversal must accompany the initial error.
