An increase in Anchorage wolf encounters sparks curiosity, not alarm
From AlaskaPublic.org:
Emily Freitas has lived on the border of Far North Bicentennial Park for a decade, but it wasn’t until late August when she first saw a pack of wolves in the city. She was walking her three dogs on a trail less than a half-mile from her East Anchorage home.
“The first wolf came out of the woods, and then the dogs just froze, and then the rest came out. It just stood there and stayed. They all just stared at each other for five [or] 10 minutes,” she said. It was around 9 p.m. when she saw the six wolves. They were about 50 yards away – close enough that Freitas snapped a picture of the pack staring directly back at her.
