BRIDGEPORT,
Calif.
— A young male wolf has
been traveling near Yosem-
ite National Park, the far-
thest south a wolf has been
tracked in California in more
than a century, offi cials said.
Researchers have been
monitoring the wolf dubbed
OR-93 via his tracking col-
lar and said the animal
departed Oregon earlier this
year, likely in search of a
new territory, the San Fran-
cisco Chronicle reported on
Sunday.
After trekking through
Modoc County and cross-
ing state highways 4 and
208, OR-93 recently moved
into Mono County, just east
of Yosemite, the newspaper
said.
“Given the time of year,
we assume OR-93 has trav-
eled such a long way in
search of a mate,” Center for
Biological Diversity wolf
advocate Amaroq Weiss said
in a statement. “I hope he
can fi nd one.”
Previously, the farthest
south a gray wolf was spot-
California Department of Fish and Wildlife
A gray wolf from Oregon was spotted in California near Yosemite in February.
ted in recent decades was the
Lake Tahoe Basin, accord-
ing to the Chronicle. That
wolf, OR-54, eventually
headed back north.
Earlier
this
month,
another male wolf, OR-85,
was tracked to California’s
Siskiyou County, just south
of the Oregon state line.
Gray wolves were erad-
icated in California early in
the last century because of
their perceived threat to live-
stock. Their reappearance in
the state has riled ranchers,
who say wolves have preyed
on their livestock on public
or private land.
Wolves are protected
under California’s Endan-
gered Species Act. Trump
administration offi cials in
November stripped Endan-
gered Species Act protec-
tions for gray wolves in
most of the U.S., ending
longstanding federal safe-
guards and putting states and
tribes in charge of oversee-
ing the predators.
“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,”
Weiss said of OR-93. “He’s
another beacon of hope,
showing that wolves can
return here and fl ourish as
long as they remain legally
protected.”

Thank you for all of your help.
Soon after starting Mason Autobody LLC in 2019,
I was approached by Lisa who thought we could
benefit from some local advertising. At first, I was
skeptical about using funds for ads in the newspaper.
But Lisa opened us up to a whole new level of
advertising and marketing through the online ads
and the beautiful ads that her and the team create
for our business. Since starting with Lisa, we have
definitely received nothing but positive feedback
from the ads. Thanks Lisa for all that you do!
