Adult wolf dies after Colorado recaptures pack suspected of killing livestock
From The Denver Post:
One of Colorado’s reintroduced wolves — the patriarch of the state’s newest pack — died of natural causes four days after being recaptured by state wildlife officials following a series of livestock killings.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife biologists captured the wolf on Aug. 30 and it died on Sept. 3, the agency announced Monday. Biologists had found the wolf, identified as 2309-OR, in poor condition, with several injuries to a hind leg and severely underweight, according to CPW.
