Researchers plan to retrace wolf's 1200-mile path

A GPS equipped collar has tracked the movements of a wolf known as OR-7, who was born in Oregon and is the first wild wolf to set paw in California since the last one was killed in 1924.

The Oregon gray wolf nicknamed OR-7 recently photographed by a trail camera in Northern California.

A GPS equipped collar has tracked the movements of a wolf known as OR-7, who was born in Oregon and is the first wild wolf to set paw in California since the last one was killed in 1924.

Take Two has talked a fair bit about the wolf known as OR-7.

Born in Oregon, the wolf roamed many miles - his movements tracked by a GPS equipped collar.

Several times he's crossed into California, making OR-7 the first wild wolf to set paw in the state since the last one was killed in 1924.

Now a group of researchers plan to retrace Or-7's 1200-mile path on foot.

Wolf expert David Moskowitz, who will be going on this grand adventure, joined Take Two for more.
