The Mexican Gray Wolf is the most endangered species of wolf, especially in North America. These wolves were nearly driven extinct in the 1970s, which prompted the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to focus on conservation efforts for these beautiful canines. For nearly 30 years, there were no Mexican Gray Wolves in the wild, but in the late 90s, pups bred in captivity were released into the wild once again. While their population has certainly made a comeback, there is still a lot of work to be done. It’s important that we raise awareness of these animals and their plight, in order to make sure they never get close to extinction again.
