From Denver7.com:

Colorado Parks and Wildlife has killed a lone, uncollared wolf believed to be responsible for 10 confirmed depredation events since the summer of 2025, the agency announced Saturday.

Officials said video evidence showed the wolf — originally a member of the Copper Creek Pack — was the same elusive wolf responsible for depredations in Rio Blanco County in 2025 and early 2026. Officials had made several previous attempts to “lethally remove” the wolf, but were unsuccessful and eventually called off the effort.

That’s simply not true, experts say — superwolves aren’t a thing.
