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

On Friday, April 11, Parks and Wildlife confirmed “the mortality of male gray wolf 2513 on April 9 in Wyoming,” according to the release.

The wildlife agency said the wolf was part of the group translocated to Colorado from British Columbia, Canada in June 2024.

Parks and Wildlife “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.

Gray wolves are not included on Wyoming’s endangered species list and roughly 85% of the state falls under Wyoming Game and Fish Department predator control area rules, which allow for a wolf to be killed at any time without a license.

Friday’s report of the deceased wolf comes after federal officials killed a Colorado wolf suspected of attacking livestock on private land in Wyoming last month.

That wolf, also translocated from Canada and tagged, was killed following a U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service investigation in response to a sheep predation event on private land in north-central Wyoming, according to Tanya Espinosa, a spokesperson for the federal agency.
