The pack includes one adult female, who is a direct descendant of California’s first documented wolf in the state in recent history, dubbed OR7.
A new pack of gray wolves has been confirmed in the Sequoia National Forest region of Tulare County, a remarkable 200 miles by air from the nearest other families.
The precise tally is uncertain, because animals are moving into the far northeast corner of the state, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Packs have been reported in Tehama County, western Lassen County, Lassen and Plumas counties, eastern Siskiyou County and eastern Plumas County.
A sighting was first reported in July in Sequoia National Forest, according to CDFW. Famed for its giant trees, the forest covers over 1.1 million acres of wilderness. Mount Whitney, at 14,494 feet the highest peak in the United States south of Alaska, rises at its border. The pack features one adult female, who is a direct descendant of California’s first documented wolf in the state in recent history, dubbed OR7. It also includes four offspring: two females and two males. A genetic profile of the offspring indicate that they are descendants of the Lassen Pack.
