(AP) — A wolf hit by a car on an Interstate 10 frontage road in El Paso, Texas, was appar ently a domesticated wolf once trapped by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Montana. But how it got to West Texas is anybody’s guess. El Paso animal control offi cers picked up the dead wolf Sunday morning, and found it had eartags and a Fish and Wildlife radio collar. Joe Fontaine, project leader for the agency’s Montana Wolf Recovery Project in Hele na, said his project put the tags and collar on the animal last Aug. 4 when it was caught while officials were trapping coyotes. He said he wanted to monitor the animal and find out more about it, since it’s difficult to tell a wolf from a wolf-dog hy brid and the agency knew of no wild wolves in the area. The animal’s behavior con vinced Fontaine it was a do mesticated wolf, raised from puppyhood by humans. “It didn’t know how to hunt, never demonstrated any ability to take down wildlife at all,” Fontaine said. “It hung out in wheat and barley fields, a four- or five-square- mile area, which is very unusual for a wild animal.” The wolf also showed no fear of humans, walking away but not running when they ap proached, he said. “You put it all together, and it pretty much tells you it’s a domesticated animal,” Fontaine said. He had decided to trap the wolf again and retrieve the ra dio collar when the animal dis appeared from the radio track ing screen in mid-October. He said he assumed it had been killed, and was annoyed no one returned the collar. Now Fontaine believes some one probably picked up the ani mal. Since it’s more than 1,000 "It's going to be interesting to see what it was feeding on; it was well fed." —Joe Fontaine, Montana Wolf Recovery Project miles from Montana to El Paso, “we’re pretty sure it didn’t walk there on its own.” He’s curious why it still had on the radio collar and eartags if it was a pet and whether it escaped or was released. “Why would you do that to an animal (release it) when it can’t fend for itself?” he said. “That’s cruel.” The carcass has been si to the Fish and Wildlife’s i tional forensics laboraton Ashland, Ore., to find ot more about the animal-i; eluding whether it was a wo! dog hybrid or a full-bloodi wolf, said Hans Stuai spokesman for the agency’s,! buquerque office. Stuart said no wild woln have been released in ■Ni Mexico, although parts ofXo Mexico and Arizona havebg suggested for future reintn duction of the endanger) Mexican wolf. Stuart said the aniti found in El Paso just soutt New Mexico was not aMeiiti wolf, all of which areincapd ity and are accounted for, Fontaine said even if nos ever figures out how then mal got to El Paso, he’d lib know the results of the labi amination. “It’s going to be interest! to see what it was feeding! it was well fed,” he said.
