A gray wolf known as OR-103 arrived in Siskiyou County in early May. He's the second known wolf to cross into California this year.
A young male gray wolf crossed into far Northern California early this month — joining another wolf that trekked into the state in late January andThe latest wolf to arrive in California — called OR-103 — was outfitted with a GPS collar in Deschutes County, Ore. He entered northeastern Siskiyou County on May 4, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
With Oregon’s wolf population expanding, “there will be more wolves dispersing to California,” Brown said. “It just shows that there’s a healthy population growth of the wolves.”There were at least 173 wolves in Oregon at the end of 2020, a 9.5% increase over the previous year’s tally, according to a state Department of Fish and Wildlife report.
Oregon wildlife officials collected DNA from OR-103 and sent it to a lab for analysis. But there’s no certainty the results will be sufficient to trace his origins, Brown said. Even if he doesn’t become a patriarch, Flick sees his trailblazing as significant. Wolves tend to follow in the “paw steps” of others that came before them, often drawing on their sharp sense of smell, meaning OR-93 could lead others to the area, she said.and risked encountering ranchers wary of wolves preying on their livestock.
