Red Wolf Pups Thrive in Wild Foster Care | St. Louis News

Three American Red Wolf pups born at the Saint Louis Zoo have been successfully relocated to North Carolina, joining a wild family in the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge — a bold step to revive one of the world’s rarest canids. With fewer than 40 left in the wild, every pup matters. The zoo conducted vital health checks before the move, and trail cameras now show the pups thriving under their new foster parents. This fostering effort boosts genetic diversity, strengthens disease resistance, and offers real hope for the species’ survival — all thanks to the teamwork between zoos and wildlife agencies.
