FOUR NEW ADDITIONS

Four endangered Mexican wolves have recently joined the facility, bringing the total count of Mexican wolves to 9. The Wildlife Science Center has been home to Mexican wolves since 2001. Three of the new wolves are male wolves, and they all live together. The female is new to them all, so the Wildlife Science Center is observing their interactions closely to make sure that they are all getting along.

I learned from the press release that both Mexican and Red wolves were almost wiped out back in the 1970's so captive breeding has been the main source of reintroduction into the wild.

The Wildlife Science Center can provide a safe living space for breeding and non-breeding animals, across the country.
