Gray Wolves Sample Clauses

Gray Wolves. Gray wolf (Canis lupus) presence in Washington has expanded substantially since 2002. In July 2011, there were five confirmed packs in the state: two in Pend Oreille County (Diamond, Salmo), one in Pend Oreille and Xxxxxxx Counties (Smackout), one in Kittitas County (Teanaway), and one in Okanogan/Chelan Counties (Lookout) (Xxxxx et al. 2011). There were also indications of single additional packs in the Blue Mountains and North Cascades National Park, which are likely trans-boundary packs with Oregon and British Columbia, respectively. At least a few solitary wolves also likely occur in other scattered locations of Washington (Xxxxx et al. 2011). The Oregon wolf population is expanding and the 2011 minimum known wolf population consisted of 29 wolves with four known packs in northeast Oregon east of Interstate 84 (ODFW 2012a). The actual number of wolves in Oregon is likely greater than this minimum estimate, and the population and distribution is expected to continue to grow through natural reproduction and dispersal (ODFW 2012a). Packs typically occupy large distinct territories, 200 to 500 square miles, and defend these areas from other wolves or packs. Suitable wolf habitat is generally characterized as public land with mountainous, forested habitat that contains abundant year round prey, low road density, low numbers of domestic livestock and sheep, low agricultural use, and few people. Wolves are habitat generalists and are theoretically capable of inhabiting a wide range of ecosystems, including some that might be considered marginal. An initial analysis for Washington suggests that suitable habitat for wolves potentially occurs throughout the state, except in the Columbia Basin and Puget Trough lowlands. It is, therefore, conceivable that wolves may again occupy areas in the vicinity of covered lands in Washington and Oregon during the term of the Permits. However, the two alternatives are unlikely to differ in the manner in which they affect gray wolves or their habitat, thus, this species will not be analyzed further in this EA.
