One of the wolves of the Imnaha pack in Wallowa County has died.
ODFW says it found the year old female yesterday – thanks to the signal from her radio collar. The collar sends out a special alert when it doesn’t move for four hours or more, and that’s when the agency suspected something might be wrong.

So far, ODFW says it has no reason to think that this is anything other than a natural death. They didn’t see any signs of foul play. But the carcass was sent to the Washington State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for a complete examination.
The Imnaha pack has at least 14 other members.
