Oregon State University graduate student Katie Moriarity obtained a photograph using a camera trap in the Tahoe National Forest, in northern California.<\/p>\n<p>This stunning news has generated great excitement in many quarters. In other circles, however, the reaction has been less enthusiastic. Tahoe National Forest public affairs officer Ann Wrestling indicated that U.S. Forestry Service officials in Washington, D.C., told her not to comment about the wolverine.<\/p>\n<p>The TBRC conducts searches for sasquatch evidence using camera traps such as those employed in the Sierras.
