According to the Huffington Post, "A wild wolf beloved by wolf watchers and biologists who visit Yellowstone National Park has been shot dead by a hunter. The 7-year-old female wolf, known to scientists as Lamar Canyon Wolf Pack member 926F, had wandered just outside Yellowstone last weekend and was legally killed by a trophy hunter." Wolf enthusiasts had given her the nickname "Spitfire." She was the daughter of a famous alpha female wolf who was given the number 824F.
