Colorado wolf reported dead in Wyoming

Colorado Parks and Wildlife has reported a male gray wolf from the state as deceased in Wyoming, according to a news statement.

On Friday evening, CPW confirmed “the mortality of male gray wolf 2513 on April 9,” according to the statement.

“CPW coordinated with Wyoming Game and Fish for the return of its tracking collar; however, Wyoming state law prevents further detail from being shared,” added the release.

The wildlife agency said it does not “comment on wildlife movements, operations, or regulations in other states” but that the wolf was part of the group of wolves translocated to Colorado from British Columbia, Canada, in June 2024.

“Wolves are known to travel long distances to find food or mates, including into other states,” according to the CPW news statement, which added the agency has “no further comment on the mortality of wolf 2513 as it took place outside of Colorado.”
