A photo of two recently-born red wolf pups being held up by a person wearing a dark blue coat and sanitary gloves. The pups are very small. They have a dark, rusty brown coat. Their eyes are still closed, and they're still too weak to barely walk on their own. The person hold them is smiling a big grin at the small pups.

Conservation wins for red wolves in North Carolina; biologists are celebrating recent successes in the red wolf recovery program in northeastern North Carolina, where the wild population has grown to around 30 individuals

Many of you may know that my names in #ScottishGaelic mean “young red wolf”, so I have an interest in this critically endangered species.

“Colossal also announced it had cloned four red wolves using blood drawn from wild wolves of the southeastern US’ critically endangered red wolf population.

The aim is to bring more genetic diversity into the small population of captive red wolves, which scientists are using to breed and help save the species.”

From AP.com: A North Carolina wildlife crossing will save people. Can it save the last wild red wolves too?

A win for red wolves!

The #WashingtonPost recently covered efforts to protect critically endangered #RedWolves (with fewer than 20 remaining) in eastern #NorthCarolina. According to the article, the Federal Highway Administration has announced a $25 million grant to construct #WildlifeCrossings to address the leading cause of death for red wolves: being hit by cars.

The wildlife crossings aim to reduce collisions and provide safer passage

Did you know some endangered red wolves have a surprising sweet tooth? 🍬 These rare carnivores have been spotted snacking on wild berries, which might make them unexpected pollinators! This unique behavior could help the ecosystem and highlight the importance of preserving these amazing animals. 🐺🌿

A smoggy visit to the #WNCNatureCenter in #Asheville today (our air quality is awful this week, please send a deluge.)

Their pair of #RedWolves had a litter of NINE #pups, and they were out and about today. Some of them may be released when they are 1-2 years old. No pictures possible.

The big #bear was staying out of the sun (like me) and the #otters were just having a blast swimming. Always fun to visit.

A large black bear is lying on the 2nd story of a 3 story structure in the bear enclosure. Seemed quite bored, but then it was hot and the air quality is terrible today.

An otter is swimming underwater next to the glass viewing port. He's currently upside down, ready to make his turn and push off from the glass. They make moving through water look absolutely effortless.

The underside of a fast-moving otter, you can see all 4 of his paws as he prepares to push off the glass in front of us, and leap away at 90 degrees, still underwater. This is clearly a well-traveled route for this guy.

☀️ #MorningCoffeeTrivia ☕️

There are few #RedWolves remaining in the wild and the entire population is situated in which state?

#RedWolves are the rarest canine in the world - experts estimate there are fewer than 20 left in the wild, 14 of which are confirmed and collared by conservationists.

While animal lovers and scientists have been trying to recover red wolf populations for several decades, these efforts are still falling tragically short.

Tell the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS): commit more resources, time, and money to saving the red wolf!
