Latest relocated gray wolf death reported in northwest Colorado
A female gray wolf was reported dead in northwest Colorado this week, becoming at least the seventh of the state's reintroduced wolves to die.
The female wolf was one of 15 relocated from Canada to Colorado in January.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife did not indicate in its news release what may have caused the animal's death but said a final determination will be made after a necropsy.
The agency said it was alerted to the death Thursday. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is also investigating the incident because gray wolves are protected under the federal Endangered Species Act.
