Title: Wenatchee wolf pack’s existence in doubt
Post by: vandeman17 on April 17, 2014, 12:13:50 PM: Highly doubtful!

WENATCHEE — A female wolf that biologists thought made up half of Wenatchee’s fledgling wolf pack has rejoined her old pack near Cle Elum, leaving doubt that the local one still exists.

“Even though we identified them as the Wenatchee Pack last year, right now we have no indication that they’re still here,” said David Volson, a wildlife biologist for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife in Wenatchee.

Hope they are lying in a ditch somewhere!

That leads me to assume that there are pups out there that are just about the right age to establish a new pack. They always just assume since they haven't been seen that they aren't there. :bdid:
