Adorable! Here is video of critically endangered American Red Wolf pups, born at our offsite facility in April, meeting their dad Marshall for the first time! 💗 We have a total of 12 growing pups at our offsite Red Wolf facility. These pups are part of a cooperative effort to help save this iconic American species from extinction. We have been at the forefront of the program, and these new pups represent another success in the survival of American Red Wolves. | Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

When we say the Red Wolf pups are growing fast, we mean it! They now weigh between 7.8 and 9.8 pounds apiece. 🐺 This stage of life is also their most playful and curious — come see them explore and develop! While we can't guarantee a schedule for the wolves' activity, the best time to visit is earlier in the morning and later in the afternoon.
