As part of the Radiographic examination, SVP!��is>.l5>m!noted the lower jaw of Mexican gray wolf #1385 was shattered from the mandibular rami rostrally. The rostral end of the jaw, including the incisors and canine teeth was present in one ( l ) fragment. Along the back of the neck, there was soft tissue disruption dorsal to C2-C3 and, along the same plane, an indentation ventral to the trachea. The caudal lung fields were of increased radiodensity and the borders were retracted from the dorsal body wall. The stomach was filled with material of a patchy mixed soft tissue

and bone density. Additionally, there was a passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag between the shoulder blades.
Individuals Fibers Found on the Carcass
As part of the external examination, VP!�m1; tDJ I found that the body was externally examined at wavelengths from 350 to 650 nm with a red filter and no filter (for UV light). Scattered over the right side of the body are a few individual fibers that photoluminesce at wavelengths from 400 to 530 nm when viewed with a red filter.
Evidence of Injury
VP�further noted, as part of evidence of injury, that it was dried blood caked in the fur around the head and forepaws. The lower jaw (mandible) is shattered. The fracture edges and oral cavity are dirt-encrusted. The rostral end of the jaw, including the canines, incisors and left and right first premolars remain attached to the head via skin on the left side. When the fractured ends of the rostral mandible are re-apposed, there remains an approximately 3.7 cm long segment of right mandible that is missing, including the second through the fourth premolars. On the left side, there is a fimow-like comminuted fracture that encompasses the premolars; however, fragments or complete sections of all teeth are present on the left side. Across the dorsal surface of the left front paw, there is a line of three (3), evenly spaced, cutaneous puncture wounds. The punctures run in a diagonal direction from the base of the digit one claw to the base of digit five. The punctures are each approximately seven (7) mm in diameter and are spaced approximately seven (7) mm apart. There is blood staining the fur around the punctures.
Summary of Post-Morten Findings
� summarized the Post-Morten findings as:
• Jaw: compound, comminuted fracture of the lower jaw (mandible)• Left front paw: line of puncture wounds through the skin• Neck: multifocal to coalescing abrasions at the collar site• Stomach: rupture• Thin nutritional condition• Recent meal.

Intact carcass
Fair
Good
RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION: The lower jaw is shattered from the mandibular rami rostrally. The rostral end of the jaw, including the incisors and canine teeth is present in one fragment.
Along the back of the neck there is soft tissue disruption dorsal to C2-C3 and, along the same plane, an indentation ventral to the trachea. The caudal lung fields are of increased radiodensi ty and the borders are retracted from the dorsal body wall. The stomach is filled with material of a patchy mixed soft tissue and bone density.
Most growth plates are closed. There is slight lucency of the caudal ends of the vertebral bodies. There is incomplete mineralization of the stemebrae and tibial crests.
There is a PIT tag between the shoulder blades.
EXTERNAL EXAMINATION: The body is externally exan1ined at wavelengths from 350 to 650 nm with a red filter and no filter (for UV light). Scattered over the right side of the body are a few individual fibers that photoluminesce at wavelengths from 400-530 nm when viewed with a red filter.
There is fecal matter on the pelage to the left side of the tail. There is palpable muscle wasting over the hips, shoulders and top of the head.
There is a small cluster of fly eggs in the oral cavity.
EVIDENCE OF INJURY: There is dried blood caked in the fur around the head and forepaws. The lower jaw (mandible) is shattered. The fracture edges and oral cavity are dirt-encrusted. The rostral end of the jaw, including the canines, incisors and left and right first premolars remains attached to the head via skin on the left side. When the fractured ends of the rostral mandible are re-apposed, there remains an approximately 3.7 cm long segment of right mandible that is missing, including the second through the fourth premolars. On the left side, there is a furrow-like comminuted fracture that encompasses the premolars; however, fragments or complete sections of al I teeth are present on the left side. There are additional, transverse fractures through both mandibular bodies rostral to molar 1 on the right and through the caudal edge of molar I on the left. This results in a large fragment of the left mandible containing premolars 3 and 4 and molar I that remains largely attached via soft tissues.
Across the dorsal surface of the left front paw, there is a line of three, evenly spaced, cutaneous puncture wounds. The punctures run in a diagonal direction from the base of the digit one claw to the base of digit five. The punctures are each approximately 7 mm in diameter and are spaced approximately 7 mm apart. There is blood

staining the fur around the punctures. The subcutis along the length of the paw to the carpus is hemorrhagic and edematous. The punctures penetrate to, but not through, the bone. The digital extensor muscles are dark red and wet.
The fur is wet, matted and worn circumferentially around the neck ( collar site). Along the dorsal-rostral aspect of the collar line, there are coalescing areas of abrasion and fur loss. The area is malodorous. On the ventral aspect of the neck, at approximately ventral midline, there is an approximately 5 mm diameter, shallow puncture. All of the abrasions and puncture are slightly bloody and wet. Underlying this area, an approximately 3 cm wide band of subcutis and muscle is blanched.
The stomach is raggedly tom along the length of the greater curvature. The wall around the tear is mottled red to dark green. Gastric contents remain largely within the lumen and consist of 776 grams of partially masticated tissue and bone including fragments.
INTERNAL EXAMINATION: The subcutis is dry. Subcutaneous adipose stores are scant. Visceral adipose stores are small to moderate. There is moderate skeletal muscle wasting resulting in prominence of the vertebral spine, scapular spines and hip bones.
There are two large bolus-like pieces of haired skin in the lumen and distending the walls of the esophagus. Collectively the ingesta weigh 246 grams. The ingesta is similar to that within the stomach.
The following organs/tissues are grossly within normal limits: brain, eyes, ears, thyroid gland, salivary glands, lymph nodes, trachea, heart, lungs, intestine, spleen, pancreas, liver, gall bladder, kidneys, adrenal glands, urinary bladder, testes and penis.
SUMMARY OF POST-MORTEM FINDINGS
Jaw; compound, comminuted fracture of the lower jaw (mandible) Left front paw; line of puncture wounds through the skin Neck; multifocal to coalescing abrasions at the collar site Stomach; rupture "',""'
