The North American wolverine (Gulo gulo luscus) was part of Colorado’s native fauna until it was extirpated during the early 1900s. Now CPW is restoring the species back to the state. The restoration of wolverines to Colorado was authorized by a bipartisan list of supporters in the 2024 Colorado...

I was under the impression wolverines have huge home ranges so I wonder how feasible this idea is. If there are 10 in the state will they find each other to breed?

Colorado should reintroduce brown bears, starting in the Boulder area.

Maybe they’ll kill the wolves

Will they have purple hair like their other psychotic weasel-beasts?

Crossbreed them with armadillos and you will have wolverillos. Terrifying animal. They will kill the wolves and dig up your yard.

So the plan is to bring in 15 per year for three years with a target population of 50-100? To my uneducated self it seems like they could save a lot of time and money by just rounding up 50, dumping them in 2-3 appropriate habitats and calling it done.

They could save even more if everyone who wanted them would just move to Canada.

ETA: to clarify, I am not terribly opposed to wolverines. I just get tired of seeing hunting dollars get spent on not-hunting things.

Is there an animal that specifically hunts hippies that hike with their dog through calving meadows, or anyone with blue or purple hair? Asking for research purposes...

Just another chip to end hunting in Colorado. It's going to impede access and shorten or end seasons in high country units. All part of the master plan I'm so sad to watch my former home state go up in liberal flames.
