Not waiting for formal reintroduction, wolverines returning to Rocky Mountain NP
While National Park Service officials have been talking with Colorado officials about possibly collaborating on a wolverine recovery program in the Centennial State, wolverines don't seem to be waiting around for any assistance.
Dave Pinkernell captured the accompanying picture this past Tuesday along Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park about 1 mile inside the Estes Park entrance.
"I was able to snap a picture in the rain and low light. Our best guess is this an immature wolverine," said Mr. Pinkernell, who along with his wife, Dr. Carrie Burhenn, have been vacationing in the park from Washougal, Washington. "There were two of them walking along the highway, looking rather wet and confused. Luckily they safely crossed the road."
