Colorado’s wolf restoration program has signs of growth, and CPW’s newest annual report lays them out plainly. The state now has four recognized wolf packs, four known litters, and a minimum count of 32 wolves at the end of the 2025-2026 biological year. That’s the part wolf restoration supporters will point to first. Wolves are pairing, denning, and producing pups in Colorado, which is exactly what the voter-approved restoration effort was meant to start. The rest of the report is a lot less tidy. CPW also reported a 61% adult survival rate, 10 known wolf mortalities, 43 confirmed livestock depredations,…

Sir David Attenborough turned 100 on Friday, May 8, and the birthday tributes came from just about everywhere. Broadcasters, museums, conservation groups, and fans around the world marked the milestone for a man whose career has helped define modern wildlife storytelling.

That meant Attenborough, at least technically, has just aged out of the range printed on the box. LEGO marked the occasion with a social post showing the age range updated to 4–100+. The post…
