US EditionOne of Colorado's Translocated Gray Wolves Dies in Wyoming, Marking 7th Wolf Death of 2025
WYOMING, AUG 6 – This marks the third death of Colorado-reintroduced wolves in Wyoming this year due to differences in state protections and lethal management policies, officials said.
- On August 6, 2025, CPW confirmed that wolf 2304 died in Wyoming on July 24, with no cause of death disclosed.
- In much of Wyoming, wolves lose federal protections under the ESA and can be killed on sight, with over 85% of the state affected, according to Wyoming Game and Fish Department.
- Data from the reintroduction program indicate wolf 2304’s death raised to four the number of Oregon‐origin wolves that have died, marking the third in Wyoming since reintroduction began.
- Under state laws, CPW declined further comment because the death occurred in Wyoming and coordinated return of wolf 2304’s tracking collar but cannot share more details, officials said.
- Following a Tuesday ruling, the Fish and Wildlife Service must reconsider wolf protections after conservation groups petitioned to relist gray wolves under the ESA.
