Happy Wolf Awareness Week! 🐺

Mexican wolves are the smallest gray wolves, measuring in at about half the size of North American gray wolves. Despite the name “gray” wolf, their coats are a mix of gray, rust, brown, black and cream. Unfortunately, these wolves are considered endangered

Once widespread across parts of the Southwestern U.S. and Mexico, Mexican wolves were nearly driven to extinction by the 1970s due to conflicts with livestock. Today, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service partners with zoos like ours to help recover the endangered species through breeding and reintroduction programs.
