red wolf

Part of Colossal’s announcement this week included news that they had also successfully created four clones of the endangered red wolf using a new noninvasive cloning technology.

The zoo also has other animals affected by climate change, including polar bears, arctic foxes and the largest population of red wolves of any zoo in the United States.

There are only 13 red wolves in the wild.

The red wolf once roamed from central Texas to southern Iowa and as far east as Long Island, New York.

Since only 15 to 17 red wolves are still living in the wild, having six new wild-born pups is a huge deal.
