Description

Binder Park has a breeding program for these wolves in hopes of restoring the wild population which is highly threatened.

---
"The Mexican Wolf is the rarest, southernmost and most genetically distinct sub-species of the Gray Wolf in North America."

"Extirpated from all or nearly all of historical range in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico, mainly as a result of trapping and poisoning, plus some habitat loss from human encroachment; a small remnant population might remain in Mexico. Seven individuals known in the wild in 2000, reintroduced into New Mexico and Arizona from a captive breeding population; 197 individuals remain in the captive population facilities." as of 2000
