From Coloradoan.com:
Colorado wildlife officials confirmed Friday the state is home to a wolf not released as part of its reintroduction plan, the first such confirmation since 2021.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife said it recently confirmed that a scat sample from the northwest corner of Moffat County tested positive for wolf DNA, “meaning there is at least one uncollared wolf on the landscape in our population estimate that was not part of the agency’s reintroduction efforts.”
