The map shows that the wolf has left Rocky Mountain National Park

The collar of Copper Creek’s alpha male, 2309, did not work for months before he was caught, the agency previously reported. This adult male was captured on August 29 and was in poor physical condition with significant wounds to his right hind leg that were unrelated to capture. He died in captivity on September 3rd.

The pack’s alpha female, whose collar worked, and her four pups were also captured and taken to a makeshift sanctuary in Colorado.

Two other released wolves also died.

The agency found wolf 2307, an adult male, dead on Sept. 10. The agency did not disclose how the wolf died or where it was when it was found. The wolf was not a member of the recently captured Copper Creek pack.

Autopsies will be performed on 2309 and 2307.

Wolf 2303, an immature male, was likely killed by a mountain lion in northwest Larimer County in mid-April.
