..."One of the wolves is a direct descendant of OR7, a wolf that crossed into California in 2011, becoming the first detected in nearly a century to cross into the state from Oregon before returning.
Gray wolves used to roam most of North America before being hunted, trapped and driven out of most of the continental U.S. by the early 1900s.
But wolves have been making a slow comeback in many western states, including California, which has at least three confirmed packs mostly in the state's far north.
Wolves remain protected federally by the Endangered Species Act."...
