Unraveling mystery

 For those of you who remember, back in July I had posted about the WCC losing their lone girl from this year's red wolf litter. I was in my Facebook feed today and saw some awesome news. f2120, aka Charlotte, is alive! The pup that had died in July had been partially decomposed, so they assumed it was her, but the health checks they did on the pups confirmed otherwise! Not only that, she's the second largest in the litter as of now. This is fantastic that she is still around and kicking, though it is sad news knowing that one of her brothers was the pup who passed away in July. Still, I can't help being happy to hear that the lone girl from this year's batch survived. Hopefully someday she'll have lots of healthy pups of her own and can help bring back her species from the brink of extinction.

It occurs to me that I have gone too long without sharing pictures of red wolf puppies. Red wolves are still critically endangered, and a lot of policies that are trying to pass in the US will hurt them more. Also, I have some teaser shots of one of the Hokkaido wolves, Izanagi. So I'll start with him.
