Are Mexican gray wolves closer to recovery 25 years after they were returned to the wild?
From AZ Central:
Visitors squeezed into a small examination room at the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center in Scottsdale as Cruz, a 7-year-old Mexican gray wolf, underwent his annual health checkup. The wolf slept under sedation on the exam table, and aside from the occasional twitch, appeared oblivious to the flurry of activity around him.
Veterinarian staff checked his teeth and paws, administered vaccinations and fluids and drew blood to ensure Cruz was in peak condition.
