Gray Wolf Updates

Jan. 12, 2012: As of 0600 this morning, wolf OR7 remained in northern Lassen County. Over the past 24 hours he moved several miles further east. You may be interested in knowing that he has traveled over 200 miles since he entered California on December 28. In the next couple of days we should be able to provide a more precise minimum estimate of how far he has traveled.

Jan. 6, 2012: OR7 remains in eastern Shasta County this morning. His 24 hour movements suggest  he is continuing a dispersal behavior but I'll characterize the extent of his travel in that period as moderate. This animal can easily cover more than 40 miles (straight line distance) in a day, and of course, an even greater distance as a wolf travels. He remains in forested habitat providing both cover and food resources.
