Wild red wolf pups warming in the sun as U.S. Fish and Wildlife finish health check

This wild red wolf litter (2022) is the first since 2022!

Why are the pups on a human sweater? Well, U.S. Fish and Wildlife does a health check and microchips the pups before putting them safely back into their den. Afterward, they are left alone.

And do not worry, it is a myth that human touch & scent will prevent the parents from caring for their young.
