No charges in killing of gray wolf in southern Michigan. Experts stumped about how it got there.
From WNEM5:
Wildlife experts have hit a dead end in their quest to determine how a gray wolf arrived in southern Michigan for the first time in more than 100 years.
The wolf was killed in January by a hunter who told investigators that he had mistaken it for a coyote. It was a shock: While gray wolves are common in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula — the latest estimate is more than 700 — the state’s southern Lower Peninsula doesn’t offer the proper habitat.
“We just don’t know how it got there,” Brian Roell, wolf expert at the state Department of Natural Resources, said.
