Description
Colorado Parks and Wildlife announced on Monday that they have begun an operation to capture and relocate an uncollared fifth gray wolf pup believed to be from the Copper Creek pack.
After the initial recapture of two adult wolves and four pups from the pack earlier this month, biologists placed several cameras in the area to monitor for any activity to see if there were any additional pups, CPW said.
On Sept. 9, CPW said they had captured all six wolves from the Copper Creek pack. One of the wolves died shortly afterward. The operation was part of an effort by CPW to relocate the pack after wolves killed livestock.
On that same day, CPW told 9NEWS in an email that they continued to search through the weekend of Sept. 7 and 8 after the fourth pup was found. CPW stated they were, "confident we have found all of the wolves in the pack."
On Sept. 20, CPW staff went to retrieve the cameras and after reviewing the photos, they confirmed the presence of another gray wolf pup believed to be another member of the Copper Creek pack. According to the organization, they began operations soon after the discovery to reunite it with its siblings and mother and prepare for winter release.
