CALIFORNIA: Famous Traveling Wolf Hit By Vehicle, Diestinyurl.com/2p8rjfnxA wolf that made national headlines by becoming the first reported wolf on California’s central coast in up to 300 years has died after a vehicle struck him near the Interstate 5 highway.The young radio-collared male wolf from Oregon, named OR-93, first entered California on January 30 and traveled as far south as the southern Sierras and then west to San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties, earning the nickname the Traveling Wolf.“I’m devastated to learn of the death of this remarkable wolf,” said Amaroq Weiss, senior wolf advocate with the nonprofit Center for Biological Diversity.“His epic travels across California inspired the world. In this annual time of reflection, I thank him for the hope he gave us and for a brief glimpse into what it would be like for wolves to roam wild and free again.

In Kern County, where OR-93’s body was found, the wildlands are threatened by sprawl development.“California has to do so much more to preserve wildlife connectivity and protect animals like OR-93 from car strikes,” he said.The Center for Biological Diversity points out that, “Protecting habitat and building effective wildlife crossings in the form of overpasses and underpasses would help wolves safely re-establish here and prevent imperiled species like mountain lions from becoming locally extinct.” ...
