The 10 wolves released in Colorado last month, along with two wolves from a pack that migrated here from Wyoming, have remained in the central and northern mountains, according to a map released Wednesday by state wildlife officials.

The 10 wolves released in Colorado last month, along with two wolves from a pack that migrated here from Wyoming, have remained in the central and northern mountains, according to a map released Wednesday by state wildlife officials. The map, which shows only the general locations of the animals, indicates that between Dec. 18 and Jan. 22, wolves have roamed in watersheds that cross Jackson, Routt, Eagle, Summit and Grand counties.

The region is more than 60 miles wide and runs more than 120 miles from north to south. The agency decided to use watersheds as the base geographic unit, instead of counties, because wolves use geographic features to navigate, not political boundaries. The agency will not release any specific locations of the wolves to protect the animals from people
