Animal Encounter:
CHECKING IN WITH CMZOO'S MEXICAN WOLF PACK
|
|
Earlier
this year, the Zoo welcomed a litter of Mexican wolf pups. They were the first wolf pups born at CMZoo in 20 years!
The pups and their parents are important to the continued survival of the species in human care, and as ambassadors for their endangered counterparts in the wild.
The pups, now eight months old, have grown so much that it's difficult to tell them apart from their parents by size alone. Click below to read about their unique identifying traits and their journey as a pack so far.

Conservation is central to everything we do at CMZoo! Thanks to our Quarters for Conservation program, whereby each admission allows our guests to contribute 75 cents to conservation efforts, they're able to raise approximately $500,000 a year to help wild animals.
We hope you enjoy looking back at some of CMZoo's 2018 conservation highlights.
