What happens to Colorado’s reintroduced wolves when they leave the state?
From VailDaily.com:
In Colorado, the animals are currently protected by state and federal laws. The rules are different in neighboring states. Over the last month, two of Colorado’s latest gray wolf transplants were killed after crossing the border into Wyoming.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife expects these types of movements into other states from the reintroduced wolf population. The species is known for traveling long distances in search of food or mates. However, once the wolves leave Colorado, they lose certain protections afforded to them by both state and federal laws. But just how those protections change, and what might happen to them, depends entirely on which way they travel.
