Great News From Oregon!
Jamie Rappaport Clark, Defenders of Wildlife
Oregon’s lonely wandering wolf may have found love at last.
Recent remote cameras have captured images of a black female wolf in the same area as OR-7. Scientists believe it is likely the two wolves have mated and may even be denning with a litter of pups!
OR-7 made news back in late 2011, when he became the first known wild wolf in California since 1924. The lone male spends most of his time in southwest Oregon, but has visited the Golden State a number of times, as recently as this February.
If the pair has indeed produced a litter, they would be the first pups born in the Oregon Cascade Mountains in nearly a century. Hopefully, this is a sign that it will only be a matter of time before wolves make an historic and permanent return to the California wild.
