Lone Gray Wolf from Oregon finds new home in the Golden State

I entered Oregon from northern Oregon and was more than 800 miles away from the parcel. Because it was discovered and killed in 1924, it was the first wolf in California.

In Oregon, the Federal Endangered Species Act was violated in order to kill the gray wolves listed as endangered species in two - thirds of the western part of the state. According to the Oregon State Game Law, this is the maximum fine of $ 6,250, a Class A misdemeaning offenders prison sentenced to county prison for one year. In Washington, wolves are classified as endangered according to state law. In two-thirds of the western state, they are also classified as endangered species under federal endangered species law. Illegal killing of wolves or other endangered species of fish or wildlife is a serious minor offense and may be subject to up to one year imprisonment and a fine of up to $ 5,000.

There are two kinds of wolves in North America. The small seed is a red wolf, Canis rufus, its fur is shorter and red than a gray wolf. Gray wolf, dog lupus, thicker fur, more gray or golden color, larger than red wolf. Gray wolves live in the United States, Canada, northeast of Europe. The red wolf lives in the southeastern United States of America. A wolf has two layers of fur: The outer layer consists of long and rough hair that releases water and snow and contains pigments that give the color of wolves a pigment. The inner layer is a thick, soft gray "wool" that captures the air and isolates the wolves from the element. These layers are very warm, and wolves can comfortably withstand temperatures much lower than zero. When a wolf falls on a wolf's fur, the snow will not melt! In the spring, the inner layer of wool is shed, and in the summer the wolf is cooler.

In California, wild wolves cross the border from Oregon to the state, I believe that the second wolf from the 1920s has entered California. In spite of the witness of California, the wildlife authorities said wolves might continue to apply for residence in Oregon for tax purposes.

Since the day of destiny at the end of 2011, wolves call California their home. Shasta Packaging was destroyed in the mid-2020s, so it became the first family of wolves known in the Golden State in 2015. At the end of 2015, "wolf-like dog" was discovered in the western part of Larsen County and confirmed as a female wolf in the second year. At first sight hopeless, she found a friend, and in the spring of 2017, the couple had garbage of the Cubs and made a Larsen bag. These and all wolves in California are protected by federal endangered species and California endangered species.
