Minam Wolf
-Oregon Fish and Wildlife- |
February 28, 2013 – Genetic tests reveal that the Minam Pack and Upper Minam River pack are the same wolves. These wolves will now be known as the Minam Pack. The pack is also designated a “breeding pair” for 2012 as two pups are observed with the pack in February 2013.
January 16, 2013 – The ending year-2012 wolf count for the Upper Minam River pack is 7. More information.
August 30, 2012 - New Upper Minam River wolf pack
A new wolf pack was discovered by ODFW wolf program staff in northeast Oregon on Aug. 25 when a pair of gray-colored adult wolves with five gray pups was observed in the Upper Minam River drainage. ODFW has received irregular wolf reports in the general larger area over the past several years. ODFW had been monitoring wolf activity in the Lower Minam River area since a photo of a black lactating female was taken on June 4. However, these new wolves appear to be unrelated to the lactating female as they were all gray-colored. The home range of these newly discovered wolves is unknown at this time, but represents the fifth litter of pups documented in 2012. |
