ZOO HIGHLIGHTS
A big welcome to four new wolves at Cañón del Lobo!
We are thrilled to announce the arrival of four Mexican gray wolves to Wolf Canyon (Cañón del Lobo)! The sisters, born May 13, 2018, come from the California Wolf Center and are acclimating to their new environment. One of the wolves has been named "Betty White" to honor the beloved actress for her positive and profound, life-long support of the work of zoos and her great love of animals.

As the most endangered wolf subspecies, these individuals were placed here as part of a collaborative Association of Zoo & Aquarium (AZA) Mexican Gray Wolf Species Survival Plan (SSP) and Mexican Gray Wolf Recovery Program led by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Once nearly extirpated by the 1970s from livestock ranchers, hunting, trapping and poisoning, Mexican gray wolves have made a rebound. With an original group of 11 wolves bred under human care and released to protected pockets of Arizona and New Mexico, there are now approximately 186 now living in the wild, and another 220 wolves living in managed care like the ones here.

Back in 2020, gray wolves were removed from the Endangered Species List, which took away all federal protections for wolves. While wolf populations have slowly recovered, new hunting policies underscore the need for more protection. Stay tuned for more information on our new residents!
