Wolf dies in national park, another tracked for 1,230 milestinyurl.com/mr3wty3zOne of Colorado’s gray wolves released into the state as part of a reintroduction effort has died in Rocky Mountain National Park, while another has been tracked moving across vast distances since its release, Colorado Parks and Wildlife says.The agency said Thursday that last Sunday, it received a mortality alert for a female gray wolf that was one of the 15 from British Columbia that were released into the state.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating because gray wolves are a federally listed species under the Endangered Species Act in Colorado.Several wolves that are part of the reintroduction effort have died from a variety of factors, including reasons not yet determined or made public.Wolf survival in Colorado is within normal margins for a wolf population in the Rocky Mountains. Any reintroduction effort includes eventual mortality levels and these were incorporated into the Colorado Wolf Restoration and Management Plan.Thursday, Parks and Wildlife released its latest monthly map updating watersheds where collared wolves had been over the prior month. It said in another news release that one of the female wolves from British Columbia has made significant movements across the state, covering more than 1,230 miles since her release.Finish your reading at the link:tinyurl.com/mr3wty3zIStock: ...
