Wolves Return to California, Sparking Fears Among Ranchers
As wolves roam California, livestock losses remain low, yet ranchers' fears grow.
In May 2025, five counties in northern California declared an unprecedented state of emergency due to the presence of wolves.
They'd killed livestock, and according to some residents, were exhibiting "bold, abnormal behavior" and "coming too close to homes."
Between October and December 2024, wolves killed 19 cattle in an area home to more than 300,000 cows.
Gray wolves (Canis lupus) roamed the Californian landscape for thousands of years until the last one was shot in the 1920s, and are now returning to what was once their own homes.
