The reports are unconfirmed but park officials have launched an investigation following eyewitness accounts and other evidence that 'strongly suggests' a pack of wolves are living in Colorado.
There is currently an ongoing investigation by CPW to confirm the presence of the wolves."As wolves move into the state on their own, we will work with our federal partners to manage the species," said Romatzke.
The reports are yet to be confirmed but Romatzke says it is"inevitable" that wolves would travel to Colorado from states with more established populations. Following the news that wolves may be returning to Colorado of their own accord, conservationists warn that even if the reports are confirmed, there are not enough animals to establish a permanent presence in the state. What's more, they say the pack may be vulnerable to attacks from outside the state.
While gray wolves are considered an endangered species in Colorado and penalties can be imposed on anyone caught killing or harming an animal, conservationists say more needs to be done to secure their future.
