The most famous wolf in Yellowstone National Park, collar number 907F, has died. Known as the “Queen of the Wolves” for her prolific lineage, 907F produced 10 litters of pups in 11 years — one of just six recorded wolves to reach that age since the animals were reintroduced to Yellowstone in 1995.

The long-lived, one-eyed wolf 907F died this Christmas after a fight with a rival wolf pack, Yellowstone researchers have confirmed.

All reigns, no matter how historic, ultimately come to an end. And according to officials, Yellowstone National Park ’s “Queen of the Wolves” finally passed away at 11-years-old after succumbing to wounds from a fight.

Record-breaking Wolf 907F, the alpha of the Junction Butte pack, died after a confrontation with a rival pack at Yellowstone River on Christmas Day.

The “queen of the wolves” was fully deserving of her title, having lived through a heck of a lot in her 11 years – more than twice as long as Yellowstone wolves are expected to survive and over three times the average lifespan of wolves outside the park.

While 907F and her pups were feeding on a bison carcass, members of the Rescue Creek pack invaded Junction Butte’s territory and attacked. 907F still survived for a few days before succumbing to her injuries.

In an unfortunate incident reflecting nature’s war of survival, Yellowstone National Park has bid farewell to one of its most iconic inhabitants, Wolf 907F, affectionately known as the “Queen of the Wolves.
