MANTEO -- Two animal advocacy groups are doubling a reward for information leading to the capture of whoever killed an endangered red wolf in Dare County.
The Humane Society and the Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust said they're offering $2,500 for information leading to the arrest of whoever killed the animal.
The federal Fish and Wildlife Service is offering the same amount.
Wildlife officials say the animal was found Monday. In April, two other red wolves were killed nearby in Hyde County.
The two groups also have a standing reward for information in those killings.
Officials haven't said how the animals died, but they believe humans deliberately killed them.
Red wolves are protected under the Endangered Species Act.
