Photographer Ray Rafiti spotted, and photographed, a wolverine in Rocky Mountain National Park this past Friday, June 26, 2009. Rafiti was photographing moose somewhere near Trail Ridge Road. The moose he was photographing became spooked and ran off. Shortly after the moose left the wolverine came into view from the brush. Rocky Mountain National Park staff are currently in communication with Rafiti to learn more details about the event.

This may very well be the wolverine mentioned that trekked down into Colorado. The following is a list of media resources about the wolverine in Colorado....

• Scientific American "Wolverine arrives in Colorado, first in 90 years"
• Denver Post "Wolverine trots out rare hike into Colorado"
• Daily Camera "Young wolverine makes 500-mile trip to Colorado"
