Wolf from Oregon is first to roam California in nearly 90 years
The cry of the wolf may now be heard in California for the first time in nearly 90 years, thanks to the presence of young gray wolf that entered state territory on Wednesday from Oregon. The 2 1/2-year-old male wolf, named OR7 by Oregon wildlife officials, had already gained
notoriety for a zig-zagging trek that spanned more than 700 miles from northeast Oregon, across the Cascades, to the southwestern part of the state. The California Department of Fish and Game announced Thursday that OR7 had entered Siskiyou County, just south of the Oregon border. He becomes the first known wild wolf to have
ranged in California since 1924, when the last verified gray wolf was killed by a trapper in Lassen County.
