On May 16, a rancher near Denton, Montana, shot and killed what appeared to be a large wolf that was lurking near his livestock.

As required by law he reported the kill to the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks (MFWP). But after examining pictures of the specimen, specialists were left puzzled, concluding that it was probably not a purebred wolf, local news outlet KRTV reported.
