On July 29, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) confirmed the presence of at least six pups in the One Ear Pack in Jackson County.
“We know that there are at least six pups in the One Ear Pack but there is a possibility that there were additional pups we did not see,” said Eric Odell, wolf conservation program manager. “However, detection of pups early on is inherently low due to a number of factors including their size, use of densely covered homesites, and time potentially underground.”
Gray wolves typically birth four to six pups, with about half surviving their first year. CPW reminds the public that disturbing wolf packs is illegal and subject to penalties.
