Wolf center aims to educate public and break down ‘big bad wolf’ stereotypebit.ly/3xWdOCiWith the recent release of the endangered red wolf for the first time in Colorado history, the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center is working to educate the public about wolf behavior and break down the 'big bad wolf' stereotype."Having red wolves here is just going to spark that knowledge of these animals," Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center Assistant Director Erika Moore said.
