Oregon's OR-7 has garnered national headlines and even his own Twitter handle after making his way from Oregon into the Golden State and now back.

But new map shows how radio-collared Washington wolves have been tracked sojourning great distances, as well.

The map was put on display last Friday at a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting, and came to light through a report by Northwest Sportsman. It shows how wolves made separate treks deep into Canada, where two have been killed, according to the Northwest Sportsman's report.

Correction: Oct. 9, 2013. An earlier version of this report gave the wrong number of wolves killed after crossing from Washington into Canada. The correct number is two.
