California Confirms New Wolf OR-25 Entered From Oregon

   Officials with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) confirmed recently that another gray wolf has entered California from Oregon last month.  According to the department, the wolf is a three-year-old male named OR-25 with dark fur. Officials say that the wolf has most recently been spotted in Modoc County and is likely following basic dispersal behavior. Young male wolves like to wander, especially if there are no available females nearby. That same reason was why OR-7, the first gray wolf to enter California in about 100 years, across the state border in 2011. OR-7 has since returned to Oregon to start its own pack, but experts are unsure if OR-25 will do the same, especially since there is now a wolf pack in California. READ MORE
