The last time more than one gray wolf was seen in Nevada was in 1922.
Three animals resembling gray wolves were recently spotted in Nevada, and if suspicions are confirmed, this would be the first time in more than a century that the endangered species has been seen moving as a group within the state.Nevada Department of Wildlife officials spotted what appeared to be three wolves together in northeastern Nevada on March 17 while conducting an aerial moose survey, according to the Nevada Current news website.
Ashley Zeme, NDOW's public information officer, told Newsweek that the agency has yet to confirm that the animals are wolves. Test results should be back within a few months.'At this point, it's not even a suspected wolf pack since there were only three animals sighted,' Zeme said. 'We have sent two DNA samples, a hair sample and a scat sample, to two different labs. We expect to have results in the next few months.
