Queen of Yellowstone is gone: found by hikers dying, famous female wolf euthanized

April 14th, 2017 - Eight years the female alpha white wolf ran the Canyon pack in Yellowstone NP with her mate 712M. But now she’s dead. Hikers discovered the 12-year-old wolf severely injured, in shock, and dying on April 11 near Gardiner, Montana. Park staff arrived and found the animal too far gone to save. 

“The decision was made to euthanize the animal and investigate the cause of the initial trauma,” said P.J. White, Chief of the Wildlife and Aquatic Resources Branch. At this time, the nature of the initial injuries is unknown. The investigation will include a necropsy.

The female was one of three known white wolves in the park. For that alone she achieved a certain notoriety over the years, simply for being easily distinguishable and recognizable.

As alpha female of the highly visible Canyon pack—which roamed expansively from Hayden Valley to the Firehole River area to the northern portion of the park—the white wolf also earned the admiration of wildlife biologists for its longevity and partnership with 712M.

Maybe what intrigued fans most was the fact that, remarkable in this day and age, the wolf was never captured, never collared, never named.

Yellowstone officials are asking that anyone with information about what night have happened to the white wolf contact the Yellowstone National Park Tip Line at 307-344-2132 or email.

At this time of year, female wolves would be birthing. The white female and 712M had at least eight litters together. It is not known at this time whether she was pregnant or had delivered pups this year.

The park will provide more information about the investigation when it is available.

UPDATE: According to park officials, the wolf was shot by a hunter just outside of the park’s boundaries in Montana - the park stretches across Wyoming and Idaho as well. Daniel Stahler, project director for Yellowstone’s wolf program, told The New York Times that her pack rarely ventures outside of the park.
