The Ruby Creek Wolf with ear tag No. 47, was monitored regularly after being captured on July 15, 2013, and fitted with a radio collar. That monitoring eventually helped Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists determine the wolf's range and the habitat it prefers during different times of the year. It also showed that the yearling female was running with at least one other female wolf. The result was the confirmation of a Ruby Creek Pack, one of four new wolf packs confirmed in Washington in 2013.
