🐺There are now more Mexican gray wolves roaming the southwestern U.S. than at any time since the federal government started reintroducing the endangered species of predators
This image provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shows members of the Mexican Wolf Interagency Field Team processing a wolf during an annual count in January 2022 in southwestern New Mexico. Officials announced Wednesday, March 30, 2022, that the U.S. population of Mexican wolves has increased by 5% since the previous year, raising the total number of wolves in the wild in New Mexico and Arizona to at least 196 animals.
Fewer than 40% of pups survived through the end of the year, though more breeding pairs were recorded in 2021. The rarest subspecies of gray wolf in North America, the Mexican wolf was listed as endangered in the 1970s and a U.S.-Mexico captive breeding program was started with the seven remaining wolves in existence.
