A gray wolf’s epic journey ends in death on a California highway

OR-93 traveled further south than any wolf had in a hundred years. Even after death, he continues to inspire

The young gray wolf who took experts and enthusiasts on a thousand-mile journey across California died last month, ending a trek that brought hope and inspiration to many during a time of ecological collapse.

The travels of the young male through the state were a rare occurrence: he was the first wolf from Oregon's White River pack to come to California and possibly the first gray wolf in nearly a century to be spotted so far south.
