This June 2, 2014, photo provided by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, shows two wolf pups fathered by Oregon's famous wandering wolf, OR-7, peering out from a den in the Cascade Range east of Medford, Ore. They are the first known pups born in the Cascades of Oregon since the 1940s. OR-7 left his pack in northeastern Oregon in 2011 in search of a mate, traveling thousands of miles across Oregon and into Northern California before finding one last winter in the southern Cascades. A GPS tracking collar led state and federal biologists to the site on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.
