Colorado wildlife officials have given up on capturing a fifth wolf pup that was left behind in Grand County when the rest of its pack was relocated last month.
The operation to find the pup was suspended Thursday because of declining temperatures that make it unsafe to move the animal, Colorado Parks and Wildlife said Friday.
Wildlife officials saw the gray wolf pup on game cameras in September and tried for 19 nights to capture the pup, which they believe is the seventh member of the Copper Creek pack, CPW said. Still, they will continue to watch the game cameras and look for evidence of the pup, which is about six months old, they said.
