From Arizona’s Family:
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Wildlife biologists are celebrating a huge milestone in the Southwest!
Arizona Game and Fish, alongside New Mexico and U.S. wildlife services, fostered the 100th Mexican wolf pup into the wild. The pup and two siblings were fostered from Living Desert Zoo & Gardens State Park in Carlsbad, New Mexico into a wild den in Arizona on April 25.
This marks the ninth year of Mexican wolf fostering in the nation. Fostering is a method used by the Mexican Wolf Interagency Field Team to increase genetic diversity in the wild Mexican wolf population.
