Endangered red wolf pack welcomes new litter of pups
In early May, a pack of endangered red wolves welcomed a special litter of pups. Biologists are working hard to raise the population of red wolves, which is down to around 20 in the wild.
The eight pups were born when a male red wolf called Finch integrated with a wild wolf pack, after spending seven years in captivity.
Finch was born and raised at Wolf Haven International in Washington before being released at the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in North Carolina. The two organisations are working with the Red Wolf Recovery Program at the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
