In the first two years of Colorado’s wolf restoration, some reintroduced wolves have begun to settle into the state’s northwest corner and establish territories. Others are continuing to make broad movements. In January, this exploration pushed further in the southwest, including near Colorado’s tribal lands.

The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ) has quickly become a 1,000 square-mile science experiment, as experts use the highly irradiated zone as a chance to understand animal biology placed under those extreme conditions.
Biologists from Princeton University studied wolves in the CEZ for a decade and found that they’re thriving compared to neighboring wolf packs, likely due to reduced human contact and genetic mutations that protect again cancer.
The biologists are working with other cancer experts to see if these particular mutations could have therapeutic uses for humans.
