- Replying to @CPW_NEAfter additional investigation, including examination of the lion, we have confirmed the victim's account that he was able to suffocate the animal while defending himself from the attack.
- The saga of the bull elk with a tire around its neck is over. Thanks to the residents just south of Pine Junction on CR 126 for reporting its location, wildlife officers were able to free it of that tire Saturday. Story: cpw.state.co.us/aboutus/Pages/… 📸's courtesy of Pat Hemstreet
00:00 - To be clear, this does not necessarily mean J.J. McCarthy is coming to Colorado. We have no say in draft picks for the Broncos.Our Colorado legislature just introduced a bill that would give us the authority to reintroduce the North American wolverine to Colorado. This bill still has many steps before it could become a law. Learn more: cpw.info/49BIOZt
- Very close to the action on Chatfield. Sound up 📢 #QuarryFire
00:00 - More on today's mountain lion attack at Horsetooth Reservoir Open Space: the trail runner is recovering from his injuries, and the lion was killed as the victim defended himself on the trail. A necropsy will be performed by @COParksWildlife. More details: cpw.state.co.us/aboutus/Pages/…
- This video is an example of being too close to a bull moose and how quickly they can decide to charge on you. It is from Clear Creek County. The individual just by chance came upon the bull walking along a willow bottom heading towards a lake.
00:00 - For #WildlifeWednesday, watch one of our wildlife officers rescue an elk stuck in a swing near Estes Park. He takes care to soothe the elk and carefully extract the antlers from the ropes. #wildliferescue
00:00 - One of many reasons why you should pick up after yourself 🥴 It's not always hammocks, decorative lights or netting that our antlered wildlife get caught up in, so it's important to pick up your trash/possessions. 📹 courtesy Dan Jaynes near Conifer
00:00 - Colorado is home to some 287,000 elk — the largest elk population in the world. It is quite the sight to see a large elk herd move across the landscape.
00:00 - We are actively investigating a reported wild cat attack on a trail runner at Horsetooth Mountain Park on Monday afternoon, Feb 4. The victim survived the attack and is currently undergoing medical treatment at a local hospital.
- A reminder that living in Colorado means living among our wildlife. Our website has several great resources, including brochures about how to live and recreate with a variety of species. See our Living with Lions brochure for more information: cpw.state.co.us/Documents/Educ…
