A note on the definition of a gray wolf pack:
Each state’s Department of Fish & Wildlife has it’s own definition of what constitutes a wolf pack. Varying definitions means that a group of gray wolves defined as a pack in Washington would not necessarily be defined as a pack in Oregon, for example. You can read the details of each state’s definition on each state’s page: California, Oregon & Washington.
All of the information about gray wolves on this website is publicly available information. We do not recommend attempting to find wolves based on the range maps available.
