Additional evidence of wolverine found in the Tahoe National Forest
Date:3/27/2008

obtain new evidence. Finding the tracks, photographs, and scat has been tremendously gratifying.

An interagency wolverine team was initiated to include Forest Service and DFG in consultation with wolverine experts from Idaho, Montana, and Washington. Through regular conference calls and meetings, this group is working to develop a coordinated strategy in search of additional wolverine evidence in the short term. Funding will be provided for this monitoring and data gathering by the Forest Service and DFG. Long term, DFG plans to launch a wolverine survey effort in conjunction with a Sierra Nevada red fox survey.

These confirmations of wolverine in the Tahoe region have prompted us to dust off previous survey plans for the entire Sierra Nevada that were not implemented because of the uncertainty in detecting the species, said Eric Loft, chief of DFG's Wildlife Branch. The news has already generated numerous, previously unreported, sightings of wolverine from the public that should be followed up and may help guide planning for additional surveys.

Wolverine experts are urging restraint regarding speculation as to where this individual originated and what it may mean to the local area. There are a number of possibilities as to where the animal came from. It may be a native California wolverine; an arrival from a population further north or there is a possibility that it may have been an escaped or released captive animal.

Forest Service scientists at the Pacific Southwest Research Station are very excited about these confirmed detections of a wolverine in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, said Beth Pendleton, acting director of the station and its eight labs in California and Hawaii. Station scientists will continue to work with the Tahoe National Forest and California Department of Fish and Game to gather and share information on this rare carnivore.
