Wandering wolf found dead in Colo.

A 130-pound gray wolf watches biologists in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo., after being captured and fitted with a radio collar Jan. 9, 2003. About 660 gray wolves now roam Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, enough for federal wildlife officials to declare their recovery a success and to move toward removing the wolves from the endangered species list in those states and perhaps much of the West.

GRAND JUNCTION — A gray wolf that was tracked to western Colorado this winter after wandering about 1,000 miles from the Yellowstone region has been found dead.

State and federal wildlife officials said the female wolf’s carcass was found in late March in northwestern Colorado after her radio collar sent out a signal indicating she had stopped moving.

They declined to say exactly where the wolf was found or how she died.

Federal biologists say the animal, known as 341F, broke from her pack just north of Yellowstone National Park in September and traveled through Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Colorado. Her collar indicated she was in Eagle County, about 120 miles west of Denver, in mid-February.
