Another of the wolves released in Colorado earlier this year as part of the state’s reintroduction effort has died, wildlife officials said Friday.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife learned of the death of the female wolf — given the identification number 2506 — when its collar gave a mortality notice on Oct. 30. The wolf died in southwest Colorado.
The agency did not disclose how the wolf died. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will investigate the death and release the cause of death.
The female wolf was one of 15 captured in Canada and released into Colorado in January. Six of those wolves have since died, including two that were legally shot in Wyoming.
Twenty collared wolves now roam Colorado, and at least 10 pups were born this summer in the state’s four packs.
State wildlife officials plan to release more wolves this winter, though uncertainty remains as to where they will source them.
