Wolf 907F, known as the 'Queen of the Wolves,' died at the age of 11 due to injuries sustained in a fight. She was a prominent figure in Yellowstone National Park, known for her longevity and reproductive success.

And I always thought that she was saying, ‘That’s because I’m so old, I don’t give a shit. I’m just going to give this monotone howl.’” On December 22, however, 907F and some of her pups were ambushed by members of the Rescue Creek pack while grazing on a bison carcass near Yellowstone River.
