The “most endangered wolf species in the world” grew by 1% this spring when four red wolf pups were born at a Missouri reserve, officials said. “When you consider how few red wolves remain, each birth is an achievement,” Sabarras George, director of the Saint Louis Zoo WildCare Park, said in a July 8 news release.
