Wildlife agencies reintroduced the species into various areas, and now the population numbers are about 46,000.

In addition, recently, three large prints of waterfalls (Spirit Falls with Reflection, Moon Falls, and Pinard Falls), were bought by the Cottage Grove Ranger District Office to decorate their new work...
