The possibility of Mexican wolves entering Colorado was brought up, but seemed to be mostly disregarded during wolf planning meetings.

Hard to believe that at some point in history before we started exterminating predators the range of Mexican gray wolves and gray wolves did not overlap. The relatively recent use of GPS collars has given us a tiny glimpse into how species can move across the landscape. Imagine what they did prior to habitat fragmentation.

A collared wolf from Michigan’s U.P. roamed more than 4,000 miles before it was killed

The wolf was legally shot by a hunter in Canada more than a year after it was fitted with a GPS collar by Michigan’s DNR biologists.

Apparently NE Oregon wolves have traveled to S. Oregon and N. California.

Looks like another one born around in W. Oregon around the Mt. Hood area had traveled into California, as far south as San Luis Obispo county. That's quite a hike.

California’s Epic Traveling Wolf OR-93 is Dead After Vehicle Strike Along I-5

Center for Biological Diversity: SACRAMENTO, Calif.— State wildlife agency officials announced today that OR-93, a radio-collared male wolf from Oregon who first entered California on Jan. 30, has died after being struck by a vehicle along Interstate 5 in Kern County.

As anyone with a pulse could have foretold, the Mexican Wolves don't much care that I-40 is supposed to be their northern boundary. The Mexican Gray Wolves need to hurry up! I was hoping they'd move farther north before the two-legged movement to forcefully introduce larger Gray Wolves into Colorado would take hold. The Mexican variety seems easier on elk, cattle, and larger critters than their larger northern cousins.

Sidebar...the Ville Vidal just a hair north of Taos already has wolves. None were available for interview to ask which variety they claim.

CPW's wolf planners say they deliberately kept reintroduction areas away from the southern and western borders, to avoid overlap w Mexican wolves and Utards. They say they will actively track, haze and relocate wolves away from those areas.
