The growth of gray wolves in Oregon remains slow, though the animals continue to expand their habitat westward, according to a new annual state report.

Federal officials say the wolf, known as Rusty, was tied to the deaths of more than a dozen cattle. The animal was part of a well tracked pack.

Center for Biological Diversity: SILVER CITY, N.M.— An endangered Mexican gray wolf has been killed in New Mexico by federal employees, according to a document released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Affectionately named Rusty by a middle school student in a nationwide contest, the wolf was killed on April 12, leaving behind his likely pregnant mate and several yearling pups. The Service quietly authorized the killing on March 29, 2023 — the 25th anniversary of Mexican wolves’ return to the wild.

The new pack, two wolves, established a territory in a sparsely populated area where local livestock producers have long been anticipating the arrival of wolves.
