Two were pups and two were adults. I'm not sure which was which.

All wolves fairly big and healthy. These came from the controversial "wolf trespass" case

Notes: None of the Daniel Pack were collared. None of the Absaroka Pack were collared. The status of this now collarless and mangy pack is not known. None of the new Owl Creek trio (formerly called "Thermopolis") were collared.

None of the Wyoming packs appear to be localizing (for denning), yet.
