Wildlife officials were able to track her location using a GPS collar that they had put on the wolf in May. Around 6 a.m. on Saturday, a map placed her near the settlement of Neenach in northwestern Los Angeles County, Mr. Hunnicutt said.VideoCreditCredit...California Department of Fish and WildlifeCenturies ago, North America had anywhere from 250,000 to two million gray wolves. But hunting, trapping and habitat loss eventually drove them out of the lower 48 states.Populations began to rebound after they received protections under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. In the 1990s, wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park, which stretches across Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, where the species began to recover and disperse into other areas. Among the first known gray wolves to return to California was OR7, a male that roamed the state for 15 months beginning in December 2011.There are now nine confirmed packs in the state, Mr. Hunnicutt said.Image BEY03F was 3 when she was outfitted with a GPS collar in 2025.Credit...California Department of Fish and WildlifeTheir recovery has largely been heralded as an environmental success story. At the same time, ranchers, citing recent attacks, say more needs to be done to manage the wolves. Some packs have developed particularly bad reputations for going after livestock.\u201cThere are good wolves and there are bad wolves,\u201d said Rick Roberti, a rancher and the president of the California Cattlemen\u2019s Association.Mr. Roberti said that in cases where wolves have largely left cattle alone, there was no reason to remove them. But in some communities, he said, spates of attacks left ranchers feeling desperate. \u201cIt\u2019s hard for everybody,\u201d he said.Last year, nearly 200 livestock animals were killed by wolves in California, according to state data. A single pack of wolves known as the Beyem Seyo was responsible for about 90 of those deaths, Mr. Hunnicutt said.Wildlife officials eventually euthanized four of the pack\u2019s wolves.BEY03F, the wolf that arrived in Los Angeles County over the weekend, was born into the Beyem Seyo pack.Wildlife officials don\u2019t know exactly when she began her journey south, though wolves generally leave their birth packs between 1 and 3 years old, when they reach sexual maturity, in search of a new habitat, and a mate \u2014 and often travel remarkable distances to do so.OR7 traveled about 4,000 miles in his quest for a partner, eventually finding one in Oregon, his home state. One of his offspring, OR-54, traveled over 8,700 miles on a journey that took her to the Lake Tahoe Basin.BEY03F is the first gray wolf to stray so far south since the wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone, Mr. Hunnicutt said.Mr. Roberti, the president of the Cattlemen\u2019s Association, said that as wolf populations keep growing, there remains much to learn about living with them.\u201cThis has been a new experience for all of us in California,\u201d he said. \u201cTell you the truth, I wake up sometimes thinking, \u2018Is this really true?\u2019\u201d he added.\u201cIt still hasn\u2019t set in.\u201dLivia Albeck-Ripka is a Times reporter based in Los Angeles, covering breaking news, California and other subjects.Share full articleRelated ContentAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
