Gray wolves seem to love California!
Defenders of Wildlife just learned that an entire new pack has been discovered in northern California. The pack, dubbed the "Shasta Pack," consists of a breeding pair of adults and five pups. The pups are thought to be three or four months old.
This news comes just weeks after officials announced sightings of a suspected wolf caught on trail cameras in May and July.
This is a landmark development in the return of wolves to their historic Golden State habitat. And because these wolves are protected by both federal and California state law, it is unlikely this new pack will face the same fate as so many of its Northern Rockies brethren.
Hope for re-establishing wolves in California soared in 2011 when OR-7, the famous wandering wolf, became the first wolf in decades to enter the state. This new pack means that restoration of wolves in California is now a dream that's finally coming true.
Defenders of Wildlife, have been given a second chance to restore this iconic species to a landscape they had been missing from for nearly one hundred years. We all must seize this opportunity to forge new partnerships to help wolves live in harmony with people and livestock in their California home.
Please join us in celebrating California’s first wolf family of the 21st century!
For the wolves

ReplyDeleteFor many of us Wolves are next of Kin. They are survivors in a world to of chaos, cruelty, abuse, slaughter and trophy hunting. Our WOLVES, are very much like Aumakua, (spirits). They have survived and will continue to survive, as they are the natural balance in our environment. Mahalo!
