With the recent sighting of a lone, collared wolf near Diamond Mountain Golf Course, residents and visitors should be aware of its presence in the area. Identified as Disperser 2 from the Whaleback Pack by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), this wolf is likely searching for a mate and is dispersing from its pack.
While the snowy conditions on the golf course likely reduce any risk to golfers, walkers, snowshoers, and pet owners in the neighborhood should exercise caution. Encounters with a dispersing wolf could pose challenges, particularly for those with animals.
Efforts to obtain further comments from wildlife officials were unsuccessful at the time of this report. For ongoing updates and to track wolf movements, visit the CDFW Wolf Tracker online.
Stay informed and take appropriate precautions while enjoying outdoor activities in the area. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
