The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reports that in early March a pilot in Utah reported he saw five wolf-like canids [2 black and 3 gray] just east of Flaming Gorge reservoir a couple of miles south of the Wyoming/Utah border.
A single wolf-like track was located by Utah Department of Natural Resources and wildlife specialists who investigated the report.
"The area was searched from both the air and ground for missing wolf radioed- collars and any wolf sign for nearly a week to determine what, if any, wolf activity might have occurred in that area," according to FWS. "Nothing else was ever confirmed but the situation will continued to monitored but less intensively."
