Wildlife enthusiasts mourn the loss of Yellowstone’s famed wolf, 907F
From KTVQ.com:
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK — On Christmas Day, Yellowstone lost one of its most beloved wolves, 907F, who died due to injuries after a wolf attack from a rival pack and has left a void for many wildlife enthusiasts and experts in the area.
Wolf 907F, referring to her collar number and the F for “female,” was known to many as an iconic figure due to her age and legacy. At over 11 years old, it made her the oldest wolf in the park. Wolves in Yellowstone typically have an average lifespan of just three to four years, and only six wolves have ever been recorded to live beyond 11 years since the species was reintroduced to the park in 1995. The oldest known wolf in the park lived 12 and a half years.
