So to update, fish and wildlife phoned back this time, got an actual officer. Was very skeptical it was a wolf, asking questions, like how do you know its not a dog or or a coyote. We got over that hump then he asked a few more questions about location etc. and appearance (one of the two wolves looked somewhat mangy and edgy, it was the smaller one, male, looking for food I'd say.)
The nearest Fish and Game officer is 3 1/2 hours away, so they're not going to check it out.
He suggested it is unusual to have wolves that deep in the city but it can happen. That they can get lost coming into the city but often find their way out overnight. That if you don't corner it it won't likely attack but keep children indoors (my biggest concern).
Meanwhile there are people walking their dogs, etc, and I don't want to go out and tell walkers by to look out and sound the alarm but I also wouldn't want someone to be bitten. Not sure what I'm going to do next.
