Original: 2 of Colorado’s wolf packs are showing potential signs of a skin parasite — can the state diagnose and treat it?
Wildlife officials in Colorado are monitoring two of the state's reintroduced wolf packs after animals showed potential signs of a skin parasite, likely mange. The state is now weighing how to diagnose the condition and whether treatment is feasible in the wild. Observers are watching closely because the health of the wolf population is central to the state's contested wolf reintroduction effort.
Why now: The condition affects wolves at the centre of Colorado's high-profile and closely watched reintroduction programme.
