More wolves equals more wolf watchers, but is that a good thing?

With the third winter “release season” in Colorado’s gray wolf reintroduction plan just weeks away, state wildlife officials are scrambling to find a source for additional relocated wolves.
A deal to source up to 15 animals from British Columbia is in doubt after the federal government, under pressure from livestock groups and conservative activists, ordered Colorado Parks and Wildlife not to import Canadian wolves. Officials in the Republican-controlled states of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, home to large and well-established wolf populations, have made it clear that they won’t help Colorado’s restoration efforts.

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado will not receive gray wolves this winter for its reintroduction program from Washington, the coastal state’s Fish and Wildlife Service Commission voted Saturday.
The commission voted 8-1 not to relocate wolves to Colorado, citing its own gray wolf reintroduction efforts and a recent commission determination that gray wolves remain an endangered population in the state.

If not for a series of tones broadcasting her location, no one would’ve known she had died.
Like dozens of other Yellowstone National Park wolves involved in a three-decade-long study, researchers collared wolf 1331F as a pup in 2021 to track her movements. Gray with ribbons of brown fur fading into her pale muzzle and legs, the young wolf lived with the Wapiti Lake Pack, one of the largest in Yellowstone.

This year, wolf attacks on Dutch livestock have surged to nearly match the total for all of 2024. Through the first nine months of 2025, 714 attacks on sheep and other animals were confirmed, compared with 770 attacks last year.
Early October data, though incomplete, show at least 27 more attacks in the first week alone, bringing the confirmed total for 2025 to 741, according to ANP analysis of BIJ12 figures, the organization that manages wolf-related matters for the provinces.

A former congressman and 2026 Republican gubernatorial candidate is continuing to claim Colorado Parks and Wildlife broke federal laws when the agency transported wolves from Canada into the United States last winter, and that officials who participated in the effort could face “enforcement action” if they don’t provide permits proving the federal government authorized the imports.

WASHINGTON, Nov 13 (Reuters) – Dogs today come in a mind-blowing array of shapes and sizes, from the diminutive pug, Pekingese and Pomeranian to the grand Irish Wolfhound, Great Dane and Saint Bernard. But when did this diversity in canine forms begin? New research shows it dates back many millennia, long before modern breeding practices.
Scientists examined the sizes and shapes of 643 skulls of domesticated dogs and their wolf ancestors dating back roughly 50,000 years, identifying the emergence of canine physical diversity beginning at least 11,000 years ago, around the time the last Ice Age ended.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is moving forward with their wolf reintroduction plan even as they face additional challenges around where the wolves will come from.
This comes after a former U.S. representative for Colorado who, along with other stakeholders, raised concerns that CPW may have violated state law by importing wolves from Canada.

A recent wolf sighting on Nov. 7, 2025 on the Ely School District grounds while kids were in class has one Minnesota lawmaker renewing his call for delisting the gray wolf from the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) list.
U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber, who represents the Eighth Congressional District in northern Minnesota, said, “The science is clear—the gray wolf has recovered and must be delisted under the Endangered Species Act. Failing to do so threatens the safety and livelihood of our farmers with the loss of their livestock, and safety of the countless individuals across Northern Minnesota—including students in Ely where a wolf was recently spotted roaming school grounds in the middle of the school day.

LANSING – New research published in Nature Scientific Reports reveals how gray wolves in Isle Royale National Park seasonally alter their habitat preferences to align with beavers’ habitat preferences, a shift that might have implications for the island’s ecosystem.
Isle Royale is a remote national park in Lake Superior between Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and Minnesota and home to a plethora of animal species, including one of nature’s renowned architects, the American beaver.
The International Wolf Center uses science-based education to teach and inspire the world about wolves, their ecology, and the wolf-human relationship.
