Thanks Quick Draw,
Our friends in the south west will soon have their very own wolves to deal with. I wish them luck.
(the following is a cut & paste)
Size The Mexican wolf is the smallest of the wolves in North America.
weight: 60 to 90 pounds
Length: 4 to 5 feet
Height: 26 to 32 inches at the shoulder
Name Mexican Wolf - Canis Lupus Baileyi Also called the "Lobo Wolf"
Color Gray, brown, rust and tan with light underparts.
Habitat Forests, grasslands, and shrublands of north-central Mexico, southeastern Arizona, southwest Texas, and Southern New Mexico.
Food Mexican wolves usually eat the following critters:
Javelina (wild pigs)
Rabbits (some are named "Jack." I have no idea why someone would name a rabbit "Jack."
Deer
Small mammals
(and soon elk, do dought)
Puppies Mexican wolves breed between mid-February and mid-March. It takes 63 days after mating for the puppies to be born. A normal litter size is 4 to 6 puppies.
History The Mexican wolf is also known as the "LOBO WOLF." It is the smallest subspecies of gray wolf found in North America.
The Mexican wolf once roamed from central Mexico up into the southwestern United States.
The Mexican wolf did very well until the DREADED 1800's. This was the beginning of the end for this wonderful animal.
Throughout the 1800's and into the 1900's, the Mexican wolf was killed off by ranchers and farmers. (the evil ones)
HELP IS ON THE WAY!
Return of the Wolf Once the Mexican wolf was listed as an endangered species, the United States and Mexico created a recovery plan. To make this work, wild Mexican wolves had to be caught.
Only 5 wolves were found. Four males and one pregnant female. These five wolves represented the hope for the Mexican wolf.
These wolves were caught in Durango, and Chihuahua, Mexico and transferred to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, Arizona.
A Chihuahua is a little tiny dog that does not look anything like a Mexican wolf.
Okay, okay, so it is not this small. But, it is a small dog.
Back to the wolves...
The first litter of Mexican wolves were born in 1978 at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
By April 1, 1992 the number of Mexican wolves stood at a whopping 42! No April fooling here.
The Big Event On March 29, 1998, 11 Mexican wolves were released into the wild in Arizona. The area they were released into is called the "BLUE RANGE WOLF RECOVERY AREA."
Let us all welcome back the Mexican wolf.
