Description
Video taken by Mike Usalavage and shared Monday by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) shows three healthy wolf pups born to a male and female that were reintroduced to Colorado last year.
The video, reviewed and validated by CPW wolf biologists, shows the three pups and one adult from the Copper Creek pack. CPW said in June that the pair had reproduced and confirmed at least one pup was born.
On Monday, CPW spokesperson Rachael Gonzales said the agency now considers the minimum number of pups in the pack to be three, though there might be more. Wolf litters typically consist of four to six pups, CPW previously said.
The pups are about 40 to 50 pounds and are seen playing in the video.
