Another wolf dies, brought from Canada to Colorado in 2025
Another wolf that was translocated to Colorado last year has died, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
Not many details have been released aside from that the death was that of female gray wolf 2504 and that the mortality took place in northwest Colorado. With the mortality alert received on January 16, the deceased wolf was brought to Colorado from British Columbia in January 2025.
Given that the gray wolf is federally listed under the Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating the mortality.
A necropsy is set to take place, which will be a key part of the investigation process. This will be helpful in determining a cause of death.
By OutThere Colorado’s count, this appears to be the seventh wolf of the 15 translocated to Colorado in 2025 that has died.
