From 9News.com:
ELBERT COUNTY, Colo. — A wolf died in Elbert County last year from getting caught in a trap, according to a federal death investigation obtained by 9NEWS Investigates.
This wolf was not one that Colorado Parks and Wildlife reintroduced.
“The Y-STR haplotypes obtained from LAB-4 was identical and unique to that of gray wolves (Canis lupus) from the western Great Lakes region of the United States,” the report says genetic testing concluded.
