GRANTS PASS, Ore. — Trail camera photos confirm that Oregon’s famous wandering wolf, OR-7, has fathered at least two new pups.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist John Stephenson said Thursday that brings to seven the number of wolves in the Rogue pack, which lives on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest in the Cascades of southwestern Oregon. That includes three pups from last year.

Biologists had confirmed the second set of pups last July but didn’t know how many.
