Colorado Wolves Are Traveling East and South as Summer Begins
CPW said the wolf briefly entered Pueblo, Otero and Las Animas county watersheds before returning west, showing dispersing wolves can range widely.
- On Wednesday, Colorado Parks and Wildlife confirmed a collared gray wolf crossed Interstate 25 for the first time since the state's 2023 reintroduction, marking a significant expansion of wolf movement in Colorado.
- The wolf's path, captured on a map released Wednesday by CPW, shows the animal traveling through Pueblo County, Otero County, and Las Animas County before looping back west of the highway.
- "This activity east of I-25 highlights the broad movements made by dispersing wolves," CPW said, adding that it is coordinating conflict minimization resources with affected producers.
- Most wolf activity remains concentrated in the northwest, where CPW confirmed four established packs: the Copper Creek Pack, King Mountain Pack, One Ear Pack, and Three Creeks Pack.
- CPW continues monitoring for the formation of additional packs and indications of successful reproduction, though the state is not introducing new gray wolves anytime soon.
