However, they were historically present in the state but were eradicated by the early 1900s due to hunting and habitat loss.
In recent years, there have been efforts to reintroduce gray wolves to Colorado. In 2020, voters approved a ballot initiative that mandated the Colorado Parks and Wildlife commission to create a plan for reintroducing gray wolves to the state. This plan is currently being developed and would likely involve reintroduction efforts in the western part of the state, where suitable habitat exists.
So, while gray wolves don't live in Colorado right now, they could be returning to the state in the future if the reintroduction plan is implemented.
