Summary
Nearly two dozen red wolf pups were born in the wild this spring in eastern North Carolina, marking a significant gain for one of the world’s most endangered species.
The births strengthen efforts to rebuild a population that was once nearly hunted to extinction and remains critically endangered.
Will Harlan of the Center for Biological Diversity called the litters an “incredible comeback,” underscoring renewed optimism around the species’ recovery.
