Red wolf raised at Washington state sanctuary joins wild pack, sires 8 pups
From KUOW:
An endangered American red wolf born and raised in a Washington state sanctuary and released into the wild earlier this year in North Carolina has fathered a litter of eight pups, doubling the size of his adopted pack.
The wolf, known as M2191, but nicknamed “Finch” among the staff at Wolf Haven International, is only the second red wolf released into the wild by the wolf sanctuary and education center located on 80 acres south of Olympia, Washington.
American red wolves remain one of the most endangered species in North America. The North Carolina population, which includes around 20 wolves, is the world’s only wild population.
