Occurrence Notes
At the time of this review there are 5 historic observations noted in NPSpecies evidence counts, but there are no vouchers from GTNP. Their range likely encompases GTNP (e.g., Clark and Stromberg 1987), but they are thought to have been extirpated from the Jackson Hole area by the early 1970's (Doug Keinath, pers comm) so their current status in GTNP is somewhat unclear. Further evidence is necessary to confirm persistence within park boundaries.; Data Source: Steve Cain, GRTE Senior Wildlife Biologist; Doug Keinath - Lead Zoologist - Wyoming Natural Diversity Database
