Gray Wolf Updates

In August 2015, photographs from a trail camera showed what appear to be two adults and five wolf pups in Siskiyou County: https://cdfgnews.wordpress.com/2015/08/20/photo-shows-wolf-pups-in-northern-california/. No animals from this pack are collared. In mid-December 2015, Wolf OR 25, a collared wolf from Oregon entered the state and appears to be exhibiting dispersal behavior. OR 25 is a nearly three-year-old male with a very dark coat. Yesterday’s collar reading showed OR 25 in northern Modoc County. CDFW does not receive daily updates on OR 25’s activity. For more information about wolves in California, please visit https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Mammals/Gray-Wolf. CDFW will not post updates about wolves in Oregon.
