A wolf arrived in Los Angeles County on Saturday morning, marking the first time the apex predator has been documented in the area in at least a century, according to state wildlife officials.

Around 6 a.m., the 3-year-old female sporting a black coat reached the mountains north of Santa Clarita, according to Axel Hunnicutt, gray wolf coordinator for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Four hours earlier, she was making her way south through the desert in Kern County, he said

He knows that because the wolf — known as BEY03F — is wearing a GPS collar. She was outfitted with one last May when she was spending time with the Yowlumni Pack in Tulare County. She dispersed from that area about a week ago.

6. She's obviously got enough car sense to have made it this far.

Let's hope she can avoid the idiots with guns too.
