Neither Greek nor Shakespearean tragedies, or even violent Mafioso movies, can rival some of the scenarios wolf 907F has faced while living in the northeastern corner of Yellowstone National Park.
âItâs always something exciting or dramatic going on,â said Yellowstone Wolf Project research associate Kira Cassidy.
(The number 907 refers to the wolfâs collar number. The F denotes female.
Born into the Junction Butte pack in the spring of 2013, 907F suffered from a slight outbreak of mange that left half her tail without hair. Despite being smaller than her littermates, Cassidy described the wolf as playful, always trying to engage her family.
Because the pack roams an area of the park close to traffic and often dens across from a road along Slough Creek, Yellowstoneâs wolf researchers have been able to observe interactions of the Junction Butte pack more closely than those living in remote regions.

Adding to 907Fâs mystique and popularity with tourists, for almost half her life she has suffered from either an injury or infection that appears to have left her blind in one eye.
â907F has become the â399 grizzly bearâ of Yellowstone wolves â people specifically coming to the park hoping to get a glimpse of this remarkable elder wolf,â said Taylor Rabe, a wildlife technician with the Wolf Project.
399 is the matriarch of grizzly bears in Grand Teton National Park, giving birth to 18 cubs in her 28 years.
