DNA analysis shows that wolves in the Washington Cascades' Lookout pack originated from coastal British Columbia. Coastal wolves are known to be strong swimmers and can cross rivers and catch and eat fish. This newsletter features photos and captions by David Moskowitz from his forthcoming book, Wolves in the Land of Salmon (Timber Press, Portland Oregon), slated for publication in fall, 2012. David is also author of Wildlife of the Pacific Northwest, a field guide to regional wildlife and wildlife tracking.
