LONE GRAY WOLF CROSSES INTO CALIFORNIA
A lone gray wolf has wandered across the Oregon border
into California in what wildlife officials are calling a historic
event.
The California Department of Fish and Game says biologists
tracked the wolf's position to a few miles south of the state line
in Siskiyou County.
A global positioning system collar was placed on the wolf in
February 2011. Since then, the two-and-a half-year-old male has
wandered more than 300 miles.
Officials say they're only providing general information about
the wolf's location, since gray wolves in California are designated
a federally endangered species.
The last confirmed wild gray wolf in California was killed in
1924.
