Biologists cross-foster 16 Mexican gray wolf pups into wild denstinyurl.com/2p9u84kaArizona wildlife officials say they’ve introduced 16 captive-born endangered Mexican gray wolf pups to wild dens.The newborn pups were placed within 14 days of being born and bred at four facilities across the U.S.The Arizona Game and Fish Department says the cross-fostered pups have a 50% survival rate within their first year, the same as wild pups.They were put in five wild dens in New Mexico and one in Arizona with similarly aged wild pups. This is a very tediousprocess of flying the pups to their states, along with the representatives of the centers and it’s done at nite. “Under darkness we place you in a new home and we must fool your new mother” The smells must be the same or familiar to mom and that’s beyond this Wolfwatcher knowledge.

The magic word is “Tiptoe” a way into the nite and and we got it done.Though numbers of Mexican wolves in the wild are at their highest ever level, a lack of genetic diversity continues to hamper the program.Wolfwatcher does not have an inside scoop,but I assumeEndangered Wolf Center; California Wolf Center; Wolf Conservation Center and the last I believe might be WolfHaven International.Mexican wolf foster parents get it done and we thank them.Photo: Brookfield Zoo,Chicago ...

Maybe if they knew they wouldn’t support killing cougars and wolves.photo: Wild Memories by Deby ... See MoreSee Less
