Single gray wolf seeks canine mate. No cougars, please. Single lone wolf of two winters and shy around humans.
Seems I've created a bit of a media frenzy and many fans in Sacramento and throughout Northern California. This wolf (canis lupus) presently is wandering the borders from Oregon to Redding, California. My GPS says I'm somewhere in the Sierra Nevada mountains by now.
When it comes to wolves, howl if you love 'em because there are those who hunt them. But in California, I'm protected by the federal government. See the sites, Protecting the Gray Wolf and Wildlife Activists Follow Lone Wolf's Trek Into California - NYTimes.
Presently hanging around the Sierra seeking attractive wolf mate, but a large dog or coyote acceptable. Goal: Follow the wolf. First of species to run wild in California since 1924 when they trapped ole' gramps. Currently I'm a media fan frenzy with following. Will someone please design an animated cartoon about me?
This wolf is known as 'Journey,' formerly labeled OR7. Have pretty good GPS collar and know all the good watering places and where the squirrels hang out. Have huge following of friends and fans and own website at www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/nongame/wolf. Or click on Journey. A bunch of kids in an elementary school named me 'Journey' because maybe they felt OR7, the name field biologists gave me was too robotic.
When will somebody write a children's book about me? I'm a pretty nice guy, not a big bad wolf. I've been dispersed by my pack and sure don't want to end up dispatched. So follow my trail online I'm on a mission, hot on the trail, of what don't know yet, other than food and instinct to survive and disperse.
If you know of a wolf-mate, put her location up online and the guys who put the GPS collar on me will arrange the date. My photos and my dad's photos have attracted lots of media attention, but so far, none from the available canines since I'm California's lone wolf presently wandering the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Currently, I'm southbound, near Redding one day and the next somewhere in the Sierras, but well hidden in the forests and mountainous areas. I'm two years old, kind of shy, and definitely not an alpha wolf since the alpha guy and his mate dispersed me from my pack back in Idaho before I trekked to Oregon and then to California seeking a mate and my natural survival instincts as a canine.
Are any large dogs thinking of me as perhaps a companion to run with around those waterfalls? It's quiet up here this winter. You can follow my travels on the wildlife government website. I'm all by myself, alone and howling to the moon. But no other wolf howls back. Just the birds up here and maybe some bears. Know of a pretty wolf-ess who wants to join me on the trail? If so, let the guys who track my GPS know her number. Yours truly, Journey also known as OR7.
