Wolves Return to Colorado

On December 18th, Colorado Parks and Wildlife released the first five wolves the state has seen since the 1930s! The agency completed capturing and relocating wild wolves from Oregon state on Friday, December 22nd, successfully reintroducing ten individuals to Summit and Grand counties. All of the wolves involved in the project were yearlings or older to better guarantee their ability to successfully hunt and survive the winter.
