: how many wolves die at yellowstone a year? and what do most of them die of?
Thanks for your question! The numbers of wolves that die in this area varies from year to year. Since 1995, approx. 101 have died plus an unknown number of unaccounted pups. Mortality breakdown is as follows: 8 have been illegally shot, 1 illegally poisoned, 29 legally killed, 11 were road kill, 22 were natural deaths and 8 were from other causes.
