Map shows where Colorado’s known free-roaming wolves traveled in October

Colorado’s eight collared wolves remaining in the wild stayed in the north-central mountains and plains over the last month, according to a monthly tracking map released Wednesday. The wolves’ territory included areas around Steamboat Springs, Walden and Kremmling. They also wandered to the north of Interstate 70 in Summit and Eagle counties, according to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife map, which covers late September and most of October. The state’s known wolf population now stands at 14: seven survivors among the 10 adults reintroduced by the state in December, plus five pups from the Copper Creek pack and two adults from a pack established earlier by wolves that migrated from Wyoming. One of the reintroduced wolves and four of her pups remain in captivity after CPW biologists removed them from the wild in late August and early September.
