"The wandering wolf OR-7 appears to have a mate.
Remote cameras in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest have captured several images of a black female in the same area as OR-7, who has been on the move since 2011 in search of new territory and a mate to form a new pack.
The images were recovered Wednesday by John Stephenson, wolf biologist for the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife, as part of an ongoing wolf monitoring program by state and federal wildlife biologists.
"This information is not definitive, but it is likely that this new wolf and OR-7 have paired up," Stephenson said."

"U.S. biologists and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will wait until June or later to confirm whether there are pups. If the two have produced offspring, they would be the first wolves known to breed in the Oregon Cascades since the early 20th century."
