Grayson/International Wolf Center
(KFGO/Learfield) – One of Ely, Minnesota’s most beloved ambassador wolves has died at the age of nine.
A longtime resident of the International Wolf Center, Grayson was found dead in his enclosure on Friday.
Wolf Center staff say Grayson was the dominant male in the pack and captured hearts worldwide, whether visitors saw him in person or watched him and his five packmates on the center’s live video feed.
Staff say Grayson appeared to be in good health, making his sudden passing even more unexpected. The cause of death remains unknown.
His body has been sent to veterinarians at the University of Minnesota for a necropsy, the animal equivalent of an autopsy.
