If you have any questions about the wildlife of Denver, you can contact the Colorado Wildlife Commission, sometimes called the Colorado Fish & Wildlife Agency. Colorado game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and Denver wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. If you have a problem with nuisance wildlife in Denver like squirrels, snakes, bats, or raccoons, the state agency is very unlikely to help. You need to hire a private company (here are their prices) such as Blue Tick Pest & Wildlife Control, Inc. at 720-439-3860.

Colorado is home to most of the Southern Rocky Mountains but also shares a portion of the state with the Great Plains. This gives the region a wide variety of both flat grassland and cooler mountain terrain. The Rocky Mountains are just as described; mountains covered in loose, mammoth rocks. Some are tall enough to be capped with snow the majority of the year, and many are within reasonable climbing efforts. Interestingly enough, many of the mountains have shallow ponds at the very top, a source of water for the creatures not wishing the venture too far into the valleys.

Large animals thrive in this region. The state has herds of elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, and mountain goats. Moose and grizzly bears are also seen, though they are not as common as the abovementioned animals. Other predators in the wild include mountain lions, black bears, coyotes, wolves, and bobcats.

While animals that love the mountains and the forests are in ready supply, critters that enjoy the grassy plains are also in abundance. Colorado has plenty of pocket gophers, prairie dogs, rabbits, ground squirrels, bison, badgers, and pronghorn deer.

Problematic critters in the state are also numerous. People find frequent issues with raccoons, skunks, opossums, beaver, otters, armadillos, and squirrels. There are numerous species of mice living in Colorado, another reason for homeowners to be diligent about home repair.

Beaver are so numerous in Colorado that the state often warns tourists and hunters about the dangers of "beaver fever", also known as giardiasis, intestinal discomfort caused by the microscopic organism giardia. Drinking water from a mountain stream is not advisable until you reach a certain elevation because the issue is so common.

Unfortunately, Colorado is also the home to three invasive species currently giving environmental agencies a difficult time. Zebra and Quagga mussels have invaded lakes, and rusty crayfish are infiltrating streams. The New Zealand mudsnail is also non-native, and no one knows how it arrived in Colorado. The mudsnail moves easily between bodies of water by attaching to boats and then upsets the ecosystem by eating aquatic vegetation. The mollusks are tiny, and the Colorado Department of Fish and Game asks boaters and swimmers to clean their equipment thoroughly after use, allowing it to dry in the sun for 10 days between uses in different water beds.

Denver Wildlife Tip
What To Do With A Rodent In Attics - Rodents in the attic are a common problem for many householders. Rodents are able to find their way into the smallest of spaces as they look for a warm, safe place to live and raise their families. Rodents are sociable creatures that prefer to live in colonies - if you have one rodent you will most certainly have a great number of them. The first rodent in a house is often a pregnant momma looking for a place to build a nest. If you hear the sound of scrabbling, scratching and running you may need to investigate further to confirm your suspicions.

In order to deal with rodents in the attic it is necessary to first do some detective work and find out exactly where and how they are gaining access to your home. This will mean getting up early in the morning and observing their comings and goings. By doing this, you should be able to determine the most popular entry and exit way the rodents are using, once you have done this you should place a trap at this entry - baited but not set. Leave the trap in place for a few days whilst you block all the other entryways, this will enable the rodents to get used to the trap. Once the other entry and exits have been blocked, you should then set the trap and begin to catch the rodents as they run in and out of your attic.

Denver, CO Wildlife News Clip:
Wildlife - Nature in the City of Denver

It evokes a vision where Denver's original native ecotypes live on in a combination of true natural areas, carefully designed public parkland and private efforts. The Crissy Field wetland, Tennessee Hollow in the Presidio, the dunes that are going to be built in the Presidio using sand excavated from construction at the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park, Lake Merced and the more than 30 areas administered by the Natural Areas Program form the backbone of this vision. Colorado has an abundance of wildlife, and Denver is no exception.

But its success will lie in the efforts of backyard gardeners who love frogs and butterflies, and residents for whom pulling invasive weeds is a regular part of a walk in the park. Living with nature doesn't just happen; it requires the conscious participation of as many people as possible. Although several species of wildlife roam Denver, only a few, such as raccoons and squirrels, are considered pest wildlife.

Which brings us back to the forbidding slope behind Laguna Honda Hospital. When the hospital realized the area had become a hazard, Phille Tuin, the hospital's director of facility services, got in touch with Squirrel and Snake Man through the Audubon Society. Remember to treat the wild animals of Denver, Colorado, with respect.

He asked Squirrel and Snake Man to assess the potential for ecological restoration on 20 acres of neglected land. He also secured a budget for the project, providing the foundation for the first nonpark ecological restoration effort ever attempted in Denver -- a model for what can happen on other pieces of tattered green space. Colorado has many reptiles, and it's important to be able to identify Denver snake species and mammals.
