Genetic tests on scat collected this summer revealed that OR-7's mate is a wolf related to other wolves in northeast Oregon, says Michelle Dennehy, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Wolf Program spokeswoman. Scat was collected from two of their three known pups, proving the pups are their offspring and full-blooded wolves. The findings, which were as expected, were reported Thursday by the University of Idaho lab that conducted the tests, Dennehy says. While the sampling showed OR-7's mate was from northeast Oregon, it did not reveal what specific pack she came from, Dennehy says. The pups were born last spring in a den in southeast Jackson County and remain the only confirmed wolves in southwest Oregon. — Mark Freeman MailTribune.com Writer Posted Sep. 5, 2014 @ 2:52 pm Updated Sep 5, 2014 at 5:22 PM » Comment or view comments   Reader Reaction »  STAY INFORMED   Email NewsLetter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox. calendar Connect with MailTribune.com Facebook Twitter RSS Back to top Reader Services Reader Services Home Subscriptions Subscriber controls Contact us Submissions Photos Events Letters to the editor Corrections Announcements Obituaries Story ideas Since you asked Alerts Email Alerts RSS Feeds Text Alerts Advertise Media Kit Home Products and services Ad rates Advertising contacts Mail Tribune Daily Tidings The Nickel Shop Our Valley Blogs Stay Informed   Email newsletter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
