Wolverines, the animal, are a candidate for reintroduction to Colorado. A plan under consideration would rehome 45 wolverines, 30 females and 15 males, from Canada and Alaska to Colorado. While reintroducing predators can get a bit dicey when it comes to negotiating with ranchers, lots of the established opposition to reintroducing predators is cool with wolverines because they don’t actually kill livestock. A benefit to establishing a Colorado Rockies community of wolverines would also be hedging against future bad winters in the Canadian Rockies, and could help them thrive long-term. Whether or not this does happen is now up to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which will need to create exceptions to the Endangered Species Act to reflect the compromises in the Colorado bill that passed the state House and Senate.
