ABQNews: Two Alpha Male Mexican Gray Wolves Dead
The effort to recover Mexican gray wolves in a swath of federal forests straddling the Arizona-New Mexico border has been beset by challenges since the first lobos were released in Arizona in 1998. Federal officials had expected the wild wolf population would grow to 100 wolves by the end of 2006, but the 2009 count totaled 42 wolves, down from 52 in the previous year.
A report issued by the Fish and Wildlife Service in May called illegal shootings the "single greatest source of wolf mortality in the reintroduced population." Between 1998 and June 2009, 31 of 68 deaths of wild-roaming wolves were caused by illegal shooting, according to the report. …
