Colorado Parks and Wildlife planned to release 15 wolves in Colorado by January, and now a few more wolves will join the release.
The wolves from Canada will be released in Colorado in January. Originally, this amounted to 15 wolves. However, CPW confirmed with FOX31 that five wolves (a female and four pups) from the Copper Creek wolf pack will also be part of the release.
The Copper Creek wolf pack, originally introduced into the state in December 2023, was captured over the summer with plans to relocate after livestock depredations, although critics say it goes against parts of the Colorado Wolf Restoration and Management Plan.
