#GrayWolf’s Visit to #LA County Is a First in Nearly a Century
The #wolf, known as #BEY03F, roamed more than 500 miles from Northern #California, signaling that the species continues to rebound after being wiped out in the state in the 1920s.
“Wolves obviously have returned to California,” said Axel Hunnicutt, lead wolf biologist. “As of yesterday,” he added, referring to #LosAngeles County, “they’ve returned to the most populous county in the US”

"A gray wolf wandered into Los Angeles county for the first time in more than a century on Saturday morning.

" 'This is the most southern verified record of a gray wolf in modern times,' Axel Hunnicutt, gray wolf coordinator for the California department of fish and wildlife, said.

"The three-year-old black coat female, known as BEY03F, crossed into LA county around 6am on 7 February. Born in 2023 in Plumas county in the Beyem Seyo pack, she 'traversed nearly the entire range of the Sierra Nevada mountains', probably in search of a mate, said Hunnicutt. Wildlife officials have been able to track her location because BEY03F was fitted with a GPS collar in May 2025 while passing through Tulare county. To date, California fish and wildlife has not received any reports or sightings from the Los Angeles county public.

"On Tuesday, she was traveling further north, 'likely deterred by the Interstate 5', said Hunnicutt. Vehicle strikes are a leading cause of death for wolves.

" 'It’s possible she may continue to travel hundreds of miles in search of a mate or she may come across a male tomorrow.' "

Kelimenin etimolojik açıklamasında 500 karakter sınırlaması yüzünden 'Boz'+'Kurt' daki 'Boz' (İngilizce; 'Gray') kelimesinin açıklamasını yapmaya yer kalmamıştı!

Gökyüzü her zaman Mavi değildir. Eski milletlerin çoğu gökyüzünü metalik gri renk olarak tarif ederlerdi ve birçok eski dilde mavi rengin bir ismi yoktur!

Ayrıca söylemeye gerek bile yok, ama bu kurt cinsinin tüyleri gri renktedir!

Imagine, hearing the noise of an engine far away. You and your #pack are on edge as the engine revs closer. You begin to run, but you can't outrun a #hunter who hits you with his snowmobile.

What happened next, I can't even ask you to imagine. This poor #GrayWolf was captured, red duct tape wrapped tightly around her snout. She was thrown into a strange car, driven to her soon-to-be killer's home.

But there's another stop: She was taken to a #bar in #Wyoming,

Giant coyote killed in southern Michigan turns out to be a gray wolf — despite the species vanishing from region 100 years ago

A hunter who killed a gray wolf during a legal coyote hunt in Michigan's Lower Peninsula in January said he mistook the animal for a large coyote.

The #Michigan #hunter who *harvested* the #wolf reported harvesting "a large animal," the #DNR said in a Tues press release. Genetic tests confirmed the animal was a #GrayWolf.

The hunter was participating in a legal #CoyoteHunt & was accompanied by a guide. He said he believed the animal to be a large #coyote. The wolf weighed 84 lbs [that’d be a huge coyote], while Eastern coyotes typically weigh 25-40 lbs, the DNR said.
