The North American wolverine — the animal, not the X-Men character — could return to Colorado.
Lawmakers are pushing a proposal to authorize the reintroduction of the animal, maintaining it is a completely different set of circumstances than program that brought back wolves to Colorado.
The proponents behind Senate Bill 171 also said wolverines would be less destructive.
The bill authorizes the reintroduction contingent upon the federal government designating wolverines as a nonessential “experimental population” under what’s called the 10(j) rule.
