Washington Fish and Wildlife officials say they’ve confirmed an eighth wolf pack in the state. An adult wolf believed to be the pack’s alpha male and a pup were caught Monda y in northwestern Stevens County near the Canadian border. The adult got a monitoring collar and the pup got an ear tag.
Just last month, officials said the agency had confirmed a seventh Washington wolf pack, this one in southern Stevens County, north of the Spokane Indian Reservation. Biologists are still monitoring the possible existence of wolves on the Peninsula.
