Yellowstone's last original wolf pack survives hunting season
Original: Yellowstone National Park’s last original wolf pack emerged unscathed from hunting season
Yellowstone National Park's last original wolf pack has come through the hunting season without losing any members. The pack, a direct legacy of the wolves reintroduced to the park in the 1990s, avoided being shot by hunters outside park boundaries, where hunting is legal. Conservation groups welcomed the news, as wolf hunts near Yellowstone have killed park wolves in previous seasons and sparked ongoing debate over hunting zones adjacent to the park.
Why now: Relief among wildlife supporters that a symbolic and genetically significant wolf pack survived the hunting season intact.
