Mexican gray wolves — or lobos — are among the rarest land mammals on Earth. In the 1970s, there were 13 in the wild. Their population has grown to at least 257Three critically endangered Mexican Gray Wolves are now living at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago, courtesy of the California Wolf Center located just outside Julian, officials announced Tuesday.
Mexican gray wolves — or lobos — are among the rarest land mammals on Earth. In the 1970s, there were only 13 remaining in the wild. Their population has now grown to at least 257, according to a statement from the center. The three wolves were born at CWC in 2019-20. The CWC is one of the largest AZA SAFE Mexican gray wolf facilities in the country and has been a key player in binational efforts to save the subspecies from extinction for more than 27 years, officials said.
The CWC is now home to 20 Mexican gray wolves and four Northwestern gray wolves. Tours are available by reservations only. Several of the wolves are exhibited for educational purposes, while those who are part of the reintroduction program need to have limited human contact to ensure their success in the wild.
