RIP Wolf 907F, who died earlier this week in Yellowstone. At 11.5 years this alpha female was thought to be the oldest living wolf in the park. I was happy to have seen her in Yellowstone with her pack a few years ago. I also just finished a great new book that profiled her, and I'll link it below.
