Enjoy your dose of #EndangeredSpecies history and keep supporting #wolves. (END)

It's #EndangeredSpeciesDay. Did you know the American #redwolf has only 17 known #wolves in the wild? This handsome creature was persecuted with wolf bounties and habitat loss until it was extinct in the wild in 1980 . . .Keep reading to learn why! (1:9)

. . . a July 9, 1900 article in the Kansas City Star stated that Ramsey had hundreds of wolf scalps from agents in Oklahoma and all over the West sending him scalps. Many of these were likely from red wolves. (8 of 9)

#Wolves worth watching.

#War takes a toll on pets and wildlife, too. These domestic #wolves (and their humans) were evacuated from #Ukraine's frontlines by a courageous team of volunteers.

[Ignatius Ivlev-Yorke @IvlevYorke]

Right, so here’s the full story on the wolf 🐺 evacuation from under Bakhmut.

The request was a little specific, but we had a free day - and who would have thought that the wolves would be without muzzles, wouldn’t fit in the cages, and would wake up en route.

Perhaps I should have been concerned by the fact that the wolves were called “domestic” - as I later found out, there is no such thing.. But the job is done, we are alive, the wolves are saved, and their owners left the combat zone 🫡

Also, I’m never doing that again 😂 Please share and comment if you like what we do 💪🏻

CORRECTION: the Milltail pack actually has 6 pups this year if you include a pup cross-fostered from captive breeding.

[American Wolf Foundation @Wolf_Found]

Excellent news for #RedWolves and #EndangeredSpecies. This will be a big pack of 12 with 5 yearlings, 5 new pups and the parents.

[Shannon Estenoz @AsstSecEstenoz]

It's not quite Endangered Species Day, but we couldn't wait to share the great news! The Milltail pack of Red Wolves on Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge has a new litter of pups! For the second year in a row, mother 2225 and father 2323 have added to the pack! #ESA50

It's Puppy Season! Check out this fun #wolf naming challenge by @nywolforg. As a musical theme, may we suggest Heitor Villa Lobo or Chester Arthur Burnett (a.k.a. "Howlin' Wolf")?

[Wolf Conservation Center 🐺 @nywolforg]

In a few weeks, a new pup will join the pack at the WCC, where he will educate & inspire our community & further the future of his species. While we eagerly await his arrival, we’re excited to invite you to participate in our Wolf Naming Challenge!

The number of American black bears is more than the total population of all the other bear species combined.

@BearTrust Great idea! Good work.

[American Wolf Foundation @Wolf_Found]

The foxes will move on quickly once the kits are old enough to leave the den. So lock up your chickens, be patient, and #GiveWildlifeABreak. We can #coexist.

[American Wolf Foundation @Wolf_Found]

Haha! @okwildlifedept just ALL CAPPING Canid facts. Here's another: without #wolves competing with coyotes, coyotes compete with foxes, and fox mothers may den closer to humans to protect their young from coyotes.

[Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation @OKWildlifeDept]

oh hey, it's been a while since we've screamed a wildlife fact at you guys,

*clears throat*

THE RED FOX’S BREEDING SEASON MAY START AS EARLY AS JANUARY AND RESULTS IN AN AVERAGE 3-6 KITS 51 DAYS LATER. THE LITTER THEN VENTURES FROM THE DEN AFTER ABOUT A MONTH AND SOON LEARNS HOW TO HUNT FOR RODENTS, INSECTS, AND BERRIES.

Wolf victory in Minnesota!

[Howling For Wolves @Howling4Wolves]

Yesterday was an epic day! The Minnesota House of Representatives voted to prohibit wolf recreational hunting in Minnesota! Congratulations and thank you to everyone who reached out to their legislators!

The amendment reads: No open season for wolves. (1/3)
