From U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service:
A female Mexican wolf was captured north of Interstate 40 on U.S. Forest Service lands near Flagstaff, Arizona, last week. The wolf (F2979) was collared and released back into the wild in support of efforts to locate and capture an additional wolf known to be in the area.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service initiated capture efforts after wolf sightings were reported. USDA-APHIS Wildlife Services captured F2979 northwest of Flagstaff. She was given a health check and affixed with a radio collar before being released back into the wild.
