The gray wolf's travels into California from Oregon this year shows the species can 'return and flourish as long as they remain legally protected,' a leading wolf advocate has said.

A GPS-tracked gray wolf has been branded a"beacon of hope" after traveling far south into California from Oregon, likely in search of a mate.

OR-93 was fitted with a tracking collar in June 2020 after being born in a territory south of Mt. Hood in Oregon and passed into California in late January. "We're thrilled to learn this wolf is exploring deep into the Sierra Nevada, since scientists have said all along this is great wolf habitat. He's another beacon of hope, showing that wolves can return and flourish as long as they remain legally protected," she said.
