With celebrity status, Asha helps spread awareness of Mexican wolf program
From Sant Fe New Mexican:’
SOCORRO COUNTY — Asha and her mate were not pleased when they saw Melissa Kreutzian coming their way on a recent Thursday morning.
It didn’t matter that Kreutzian was heaving giant, sausage-shaped tubes of food into their enclosure, or that she’d be spending the next quarter of an hour providing them with fresh water.
It didn’t matter that Kreutzian’s entire job is to make sure the pair of Mexican wolves — and their relatives who live in cages nearby in the rocky, scrubby hills of the Sevilleta Wolf Management Facility — survive and, with a little luck, procreate.
