Wolf Found Dead in Paradise Valley - FishNews - 05-29-2008
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks' personnel retrieved a dead wolf from the Paradise Valley south of Livingston on May 19.
<br>The female wolf was from the 8-mile Pack. The wolf's collar was found on mortality signal during a March monitoring flight, but winter conditions prevented retrieval until now.<br>
<br>Personnel brought the carcass to the State Wildlife Laboratory in Bozeman where a necropsy will be performed to determine cause of death. The animal's tail showed possible signs of mange.<br>
<br>The Northern Rocky Mountain gray wolf population was removed from the federal Endangered Species list in late March. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is now the lead agency for wolf conservation and management in Montana on non-tribal lands.<br>
