Cole did research on spotted bats in California and Utah. By 1948 he was a biologist at Wind Cave National Monument, where he studied prairie dog towns and bison. Cole spent parts of three winters on Isle Royle National Park studying wolves. He found the last coyote track on the island in 1957. In 1962 and 1963 Cole was Project Manager at Point Reyes National Seashore. He died June 3, 1981 in San Rafael, California.
