Tracking collars have failed in recent weeks, and state officials can’t say precisely where they are
Despite two new wolf attacks on cows in Colorado’s North Park this spring, state officials can no longer track the pack of eight wolves, leading to speculation that some might have been killed or that a new litter has been born.
So far, the department “has not confirmed any deaths in the pack,” Duncan said. “We continue to monitor the animals, following on reports from the public and visiting areas where they have been in the past.” Michael Robinson, a wolf expert with the Center for Biological Diversity, said he’s concerned one, or several, of the wolves have been killed. Tracking collars do fail occasionally, he said, but it’s rare that three would go down in such a short time frame.
At the very least, there have been wolf attacks in the area recently, Gittleson said. He lost a calf to the wolves in late May — confirmed as a wolf attack by CPW officials — and as of Thursday, another calf was missing.
