Updated wolf map shows species in Denver County watershed
Colorado Parks and Wildlife has released their monthly wolf tracking map, which shows the watersheds where the species has been detected from November 25 through December 19, 2025.
Notably, the map shows that wolves have been present in a watershed area that includes a small portion of Denver County – while this watershed is a different Denver County watershed compared to where wolves were detected last month, this means they’ve been present in a watershed in the county for two months in a row.
Note: Just because a wolf was detected in a watershed, it doesn’t mean the species was present throughout the entire watershed.
In the latest update, wolves were present in a watershed located in the southwest corner of the county compared to last month’s map and their presence in the northwest corner. Either way, the duo of subsequent maps may indicate that wolves are getting more comfortable in this part of the state. Prior to the two most recent maps, the only other time wolves have been detected in a Denver County watershed was depicted in a map released in June 2025.
In other news related to wolf movement, the species has seemed to consolidate its population in the state’s northern and central mountains, with the exception of a few southern counties.
