A possible wolf was found dead near Morris on Friday (photo is from the Illinois Conservation Police.)
Wildlife biologist Bob Massey said that they were checking with Wisconsin officials because some of the characteristics were not consistent with pure wolf. More details will come shortly.
Here is the official word so far from Illinois Department of Natural Resources spokesman Chris Young:
A large, unidentified canine with characteristics of a wolf was found dead early Feb 13 along Nettle School Road north of Interstate 80 in Grundy County. The animal is in possession of IDNR biologists. It measured approximately 48 inches long from the tip of its nose to the rear. More information will be forthcoming on the cause of death once a necropsy is completed. Biologists are coordinating with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on genetic testing of the animal.
