Hope for red wolves New pups born in the wild signal a brighter future
From Southern Environmental Law Center:
Full tree canopies and blooming goldenrod. Shifting bird sightings with migrating flocks. The thrum of cicadas, late sunsets, and lightning bugs. The final remnants of summer are all around — and in Eastern North Carolina they include the welcome yips and yaps of growing red wolf pups.
On August 8, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) shared the good news that the world’s only wild population of red wolves has grown by as many as 16 pups. These births are a critical step forward for a population that numbered as few as 7 known wolves in the wild just five years ago.
