OLYMPIA — State wildlife officials say genetic tests have confirmed that two animals captured last Friday in western Okanogan County are wild, gray wolves.
Before releasing the wolves — a male and a lactating female — biologists fitted them with radio collars to track their movements.
The state Fish and Wildlife Department also noted Wednesday that a remote camera operated by a private group has photographed the radio-collared male wolf at a location where six pups also were photographed.
Wildlife officials say this is the first documented resident wolf pack in Washington since the 1930s.
Wolves are considered endangered in Washington state.
