One of Colorado’s reintroduced wolves died on Thursday, May 15, in the state’s northwest region.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials confirmed on Friday that they received a mortality alert on the female wolf’s collar on Thursday. The agency provided no additional details on the incident or the cause of death.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will conduct the investigation and necropsy to determine what caused its death.
The wolf’s death marks the fourth death this year of the 15 animals that Parks and Wildlife brought from British Columbia in January.
