Dangerous beast spotted for the first time in 100 years in LA County after being wiped out

A lone gray wolf padded quietly into Los Angeles County before dawn on Saturday — and made history.

State biologists say the female wolf may be the first documented in Southern California in 100 years, after the apex predators were wiped out across the state by eradication campaigns aimed at protecting livestock.

The last known wild wolf in California was shot on June 12, 1924, by federal trapper Frank W. Koehler in Lassen County.

The three-year-old female, known as BEY03F, was spotted on a trail camera in the mountains north of Santa Clarita.

That may cut down on mountain lion attacks on humans.

I understand that the wolf was named ‘Winston’. It was there to solve problems...

I had a strange thing with a cop when I told him I saw a wolf in the area, he asked where? and I told him ‘of course not, he was just a regular wolf’, what an odd cop.

The worst beast of any kind.

A creature that demands balanced budgets
A creature that demands responsibility from individuals
A creature that wants true history taught not forged with stories
A creature that acknowledges a God, Creator, and Savior
The worst evil creature you can imagine to a commie...
