These are the adorable red wolf pups which have been born at a Florida zoo, and are venturing out of their den for the first time.
“The success of this litter is encouraging and represents hope for the future of these incredible animals. Yona is caring for her pups in public view, which shows how comfortable and well cared for she feels.”
A newly designed habitat at the zoo allows visitors to be part of the experience as the pups grow and emerge from their den.
Red wolves, the rarest of all wolf species, are native to Florida and once roamed throughout the south-east. Only about 200 red wolves remain in zoos and reintroduction areas meaning they are classed as critically endangered.
