Citizen Sightings

The wolves were seen by many citizens early after their release (Table 5

and 6), no doubt because of the wolves' confusion, their extensive

movements, and their lack of familiarity with the region. They often

traveled near populated areas and probably moved more during the day

than they would have in their native territory. They were known to have

made 14 daytime moves (from citizen reports) in addition to those

observed from the aircraft. In at least five of the citizen reports, the

wolves were observed sitting alongside the road, or otherwise making

little attempt to move away immediately. However, after April 13 the

group of three wolves was reported by citizens only twice, and Wolf No.

10, three times.
