Colorado Parks and Wildlife is reporting the death of another wolf. It is a female gray wolf 2504, which was translocated to Colorado from British Columbia in January of last year. CPW says the death happened in northwest Colorado, but they won’t say where. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating. The cause of death will not be released until a necropsy and that investigation is complete. This makes the total count of relocated wolves that have died at 11.
