First Wild California Grey Wolf in 80 Years Named After Journey

01/16/2012
. (Rock News Desk) The first wild grey wolf in California for 80 years has been named Journey after the rock band.

The animal was tracked by scientists over an 800-mile trip from Oregon until it decided to settle down and is now establishing its own territory.

Conservation group Portland Wild ran an online contest to give it a name, and Journey was chosen because the spirit of Don't Stop Believin' applies to the wolf's importance to natural heritage. More rock news
