The sighting of a gray wolf in northern California’s Siskiyou County earlier this summer was just the start of something bigger—a wolf pack, wildlife officials said Thursday. Cameras captured photos of two adult wolves and five pups earlier this month.
“We have every reason to believe that the wolf appeared in May and again in July could be one of these adults, and that these adults are linked to the wolf pups,” said United States Fish and Wildlife spokesperson Matt Baun.
“The presence of a whole pack in California shows that wolves know there is suitable habitat in the state and are ready to use it,” an officer said.
But the wolves’ timing couldn’t be better. The California’s Fish and Game Commission recently added gray wolves to the state’s endangered species list, making it illegal to hunt, trap, harm. The government will try its best to protect the wild wolf.
Flick said she sees the wolves’ arrival in California as a chance for the species to reestablish themselves in habitat where they once lived.
“We have been given a second chance to restore this species to a landscape that they had been missing from for nearly a century,” Flick said. “We must seize this opportunity to help wolves live in harmony （和谐地）with people and animals in California.”
