Endangered American Red Wolf Pups Born at St. Louis Zoo

The St. Louis Zoo has welcomed a promising new addition to its conservation efforts with the birth of four American red wolf pups at the Sears Lehmann Jr. Wildlife Reserve in Franklin County. These pups are part of a critically endangered species, making their successful birth a significant event for wildlife preservation. The zoo plans to nurture them closely with their parents for at least two years. Looking ahead, these wolves may either join other institutions within the Saving Animals from Extinction (SAFE) Program to establish new packs or potentially be chosen for release into the wild by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This strategic approach aims to bolster the dwindling population of this native species, providing a beacon of hope for their survival.
