How many wolves were in Colorado and how many now?

Answer 1

Wolves were extirpated from Colorado by the 1940s, and for decades, there were no wild populations in the state. However, in recent years, efforts have been made to reintroduce gray wolves, with the state officially planning a reintroduction by the end of 2023. As of now, there are a small number of wolves in Colorado, primarily from migratory populations coming from neighboring states, but the exact number fluctuates and is difficult to pinpoint. The reintroduction aims to establish a sustainable population in the coming years.
