Wolf population could spread to Nebraska
CHADRON, Neb. (AP) – The wolf population in Wyoming is spreading east,
John Hobbs of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service said.
That means younger male wolves looking for territory could wander into
Nebraska in a few years, Hobbs said.
A similar pattern occurred with mountain lions, he said. They were not
seen in Nebraska for nearly a century, but a growing population in the
Black Hills of Wyoming and South Dakota forced younger males to move out.
