Zoo Knoxville welcomes litter of endangered red wolf pups
From WATE.com:
Zoo Knoxville is now home to six newborn pups belonging to the species known as the most endangered wolf in the world after the litter was born on Earth Day. Zoo Knoxville announced the April 22 birth of the litter of red wolf pups on Thursday, sharing that they were born to parents Buckeye and Cirilla.
Zoo staff closely monitored the cubs during their first week to make sure they were developing properly and gaining weight. Now, keepers have taken a more hands-off approach to allow the wolves to display natural behaviors and parent on their own.
