Well, Colorado’s reintroduction of gray wolves has not gone as smoothly as some would hope, yet some feel the time is right to bring back one of the Centennial State’s most elusive mammals – the wolverine. Officials say Colorado’s high-elevation terrain makes it the ideal place to reintroduce this rugged alpine survivor. Biologists say the Rocky Mountains could support as many as 100 wolverines, thanks to cold, high-elevation terrain that ranks among the best remaining habitat in the country. Unlike gray wolves, wolverines are solitary animals and rarely come into conflict with livestock, a key reason many view their reintroduction as far less risky than Colorado’s wolf restoration effort. They would be released in high-mountain zones to the north of I-70, the central Rocky Mountains, and in the San Juan Mountains.
