PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says the alpha male wolf of the Imnaha pack in Wallowa County has been photographed by a remote camera. Until the photo taken the night of Aug. 11, the wolf had not been spotted since his radio collar stopped transmitting in late May.
The wildlife department said Wednesday the photo shows the pack’s alpha female walking behind the male on a trail at an undisclosed location.
The East Oregonian says many in the county had suspected the animal had been killed and buried, likely by someone concerned about last spring’s wolf kills of livestock.
