First Mexican Wolf Pups Cross-Fostered in the Wild
The Mexican Wolf Interagency Field Team (IFT) has conducted the first cross-fostering of Mexican wolf pups in the wild. Cross-fostering is a technique to move very young pups from one litter into a different, similar-age litter with the hope that the receiving pack will raise them as their own. Two pups from the six-pup litter of the recently released Coronado pack female were transplanted into the three-pup litter of the Dark Canyon pack female on the Gila National Forest in New Mexico on May 15.
