DATED this 10th day of August 2011 M ORROW COUNTY P L A N N I N G DEPARTMENT P u b lish ed : A ugust 10, 2011 Affidavit A pup for Imnaha wolf pack The Imnaha w olf pack had at least one pup this year. Footage captured luly 16 by an ODFW em ployee shows a black-col ored pup traveling with the Imnaha pack’s alpha female. So far, photographs and visual observations have turned up only one pup for the Imnaha pack this year, but more pups may be found. Young wolves will naturally leave a pack and move to new areas. Sev eral members o f the Im naha pack dispersed from the pack in the past few months. T h r e e w o lv e s known to have dispersed from the Im naha pack. ODFW does not have evi dence that any of these three collared wolves have joined a new wolf pack yet. Other uncollared members o f the Imnaha pack may have dispersed with the radio-collared wolves or gone their own way. The latest observa tions and data suggest the Imnaha pack now has four adult wolves (three of them collared), plus the new pup. “ W olf packs are dynamic and rarely stay the same size over time,” noted Russ Morgan, ODFW wolf coordinator. “A pack can be healthy despite these natu ral fluctuations in numbers, as long as a breeding pair of wolves, the alpha male and female, is maintained.” STATEWIDE CLASSIFIEDS Your ad will reach most newspapers in Oregon fo r only S200 Contract rate discounts available upon request Oregon Classified Advertising Network A service o f Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association.
