Glacier National Park officials say a wolf was found dead from unknown causes approximately two miles up the Bowman ski trail on Dec. 21.

Wolf found dead in Glacier Park

The wolf was discovered by a park visitor who reported the discovery to park officials. The wolf was retrieved by a park ranger.

It is estimated the wolf had died about a week earlier.

The carcass was sent to a state lab to determine the cause of death.

More than half the carcass had been consumed by scavengers, making it impossible to estimate the wolf's age, weight and sex.
