Historic sighting: Near-extinct gray wolf spotted in California after a century
From The Week:
In a remarkable display of nature’s resilience, the enchanting landscapes of Giant Sequoia National Monument in southern California have witnessed an awe-inspiring event. After more than a century of absence, a majestic gray wolf has made a triumphant return to this haven of ancient giants and breathtaking vistas, the LA Times reported. This extraordinary sighting not only showcases the enduring spirit of these near-extinct creatures but also serves as a profound reminder of the delicate balance between humans and the natural world. The awe-inspiring moment was captured by Michelle Harris, who described the magnificent creature crossing a fire road and unleashing a resonant howl. Subsequent analysis confirmed it to be a female gray wolf, leading the newly-named Tulare Pack, including four offspring, descendants of the iconic California wolf, OR-7.
