Dead wolf in Colorado likely killed by mountain lion, officials say

"The initial necropsy report conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the deceased gray wolf found in Larimer County on April 18, 2024 finds that the cause of death is trauma, consistent with predation. Although not definitive, the puncture wounds in the skull are consistent with those typically inflicted by a mountain lion," the agency said. Meanwhile, another yearling at the ranch of Conway Farrell in Grand County has been killed by a wolf, according to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife wolf depredation report.
