CPW map shows gray wolf may have neared Denver, but biologist says its misleading

Denver (KDVR) – A activity map shows the wolf in Colorado Parks and wildlife that the wolf may have moved away near the Denver Metro area in the past two months, but the biologist in wildlife says the map can be misleading.

Gary Skipa says CPW is used Water gatherings to track the activity of the wolf in the state, One has just been highlighted on the latest map of wolf activity in CPW that extends to Jefferson and Denver provinces. But the same water gatherings also extend to the west to the mountains and the map does not give an accurate location.

Skipa said: “Even the wolf may have crossed the line in the upper part of Loving, and no further.”

Although he does not think this wolf has fallen from the mountains, Skiba says it is not possible in the future. CPW maps show the east since the beginning of the year, with the Denver’s metro on the January map, to a large part of the state that has been highlighted at the June map.

Skipa says that the animals that have been presented similarly, like Lynx again in the 1990s, showed a long way to travel.

“These animals take off,” said Skipa.

Wolves also showed the ability to stay in populated areas all over the world, like another wildlife that you can see in the metro.

Skipa said: “Think only about wolves, there are wolves in the center of Denver.”

Skipa said that the food is the largest driver where they go, so the cities will not scare them away from deer or Ayes.

He said: “Wolves reach Estes Park, it will be like a cafeteria for them.”

While the wolf who walks on the sixteenth street any time soon, it is unlikely to be Skipa, said that its expansion in the east is definitely a possibility in the future.

He said: “Based on the number of wolves that we end within five years, for example, there will be packages of wolves that have lands on the edge of the metro area.”
