Biologists speculate mostly black wolves seen in elk refuge broke from pack in Grand Teton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS February 08, 2015
JACKSON, Wyoming — A wolf pack spotted chasing pronghorn and bighorn sheep on the National Elk Refuge in northwest Wyoming last month may be a new pack that split off from one that usually roams around Grand Teton National Park, a biologist says.
Elk refuge biologist Eric Cole said that because none of the animals wore tracking collars, wildlife managers had to rely entirely on coloration to try to identify the lobos.
"Our best guess is that the pack with four black and two gray wolves that was observed in the refuge in mid-January was likely previously in the Huckleberry Pack," Cole said.
