Schoolchildren name Asha’s endangered Mexican gray wolf pups
From ABQJournal.com:
Schoolchildren from New Mexico and Arizona celebrated the birth of five Mexican gray wolf pups by naming the latest litter of the critically endangered species, conservation groups announced Tuesday.
Kachina, Aspen, Kai, Sage and Aala are the names of the 7-week-old pups born last month at the Sevilleta Wolf Management Facility to Asha, a wild-born wolf, and Arcadia, who was born and raised in captivity. The pups’ names recall southwestern flora, Hopi folk spirits and the Diné language.
