OR 3 and a pup of the Silver Lake wolves. The photo via a remote cam was taken June 22 in Lake County.
Oregon has a new baby wolf.
A pair of wolves in western Lake County, the “Silver Lake wolves,” have
produced at least one pup this year, according to the state Department
of Fish and Wildlife. The parents are an 8-year-old male from the Imnaha
pack and a 3-year-old female from the Mt. Emily pack.
The male had been collared but that type of device did not
automatically transmit location information, and wildlife managers had
largely lost track of him after fall 2011, the department said. His
collar no longer works. The female has a GPS collar. Wildlife managers
have used remote camera images to determine that the pair had at least
one pup this year.
