SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK, Calif. -- A new pack of gray wolves has shown
up in California's Sierra Nevada, several hundred miles away from any
other known population of the endangered species, wildlife officials
announced Friday.
It's a discovery to make researchers howl with delight, given that
the native species was hunted to extinction in California in the
1920s. Only in the past decade or so have a few gray wolves wandered
back into the state from out-of-state packs.
A report of a wolf seen last month in Sequoia National Forest in
Tulare County led researchers to spot tracks, and collect DNA samples
from fur and droppings, according to the California Department of
Fish and Wildlife.
Researchers concluded that there is a new pack of at least five
wolves that weren't previously known to live in California: an adult
female and her four offspring.
