This article just kind of caught my eye while I was surfing the New York Times website. OR7 is the name that biologist gave to a wolf that they have been tracking with GPS for the past 2 and a half years. The special thing about OR7 is that he is the first wild wolf to have migrated into California in the last 88 years! I thought that this was really interesting because it kind of relates back to Aldo Leapold and his experience with wolves. OR7 has become somewhat of a celebrity in California and even the rest of the United States. People have even made twitter accounts acting as OR7. The article goes on to talk about how it is most likely that more wolves will be moving into the area. There is a lot of controversy going on in California because some people see it as a bad thing and some people think that it is a great thing. It sound to me like California is probably going to take steps to protect the species if more do end up moving into the area so it is a pretty exciting deal. Hopefully the wolves will start moving even farther south throughout the whole united states. I think it would be cool to have wolves in Nebraska again!!
