Wolf 296M (Agate Creek Pack) 

"One wolf from the Agate Creek pack [296M] died from apparent disease. Although we were able to retrieve the carcass from the field the day after discovering the mortality, disease analysis on the carcass was inconclusive because of slight tissue decay. Disease experts at the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks lab in Bozeman, Montana, had excluded other causes of death, and other evidence from the necropsy suggested death due to unknown disease. Prior to the necropsy in Bozeman, a field trip of visiting veterinarians inspected the carcass externally, and also corroborated a disease cause of death, based on bleeding from the anus and mouth."
