OT: Wolverines to be reintroduced in Colorado

Submitted by g_dubya on May 4th, 2024 at 11:42 AM

Colorado's legislature has passed a bipartisan bill to begin the process of restoring wolverines to Colorado. The last confirmed wolverine in Colorado was in 2009. Colorado Parks and Wildlife estimates the state could support 100-180 animals which would increase the overall population in the lower-48 by 20%.

I feel like pronghorn is an underrated animal. Buffalos are great and iconic. Wolverines are hardy lil buggers. Badgers are a bit underrated but at least wisconsin reps them, the state and the school. But nobody loves the western antelope, and ghose bad boys are fast and beautiful. Should be as loved as deer at least.

I am sure the rest of the wildlife is all for it! Life was just too cushy. Gonna get their cardio now especially if Ben Herbert has helped them develop.
