5 endangered red wolves arrive in New Jersey to boost survival efforts
Five critically endangered red wolves have just landed in New Jersey as part of a rare “wolf swap” program aimed at saving the species. With only 16 left in the wild, the wolves traveled from North Carolina to the Wolf Conservation Center, where experts hope they’ll breed and help restore a healthy ecosystem. FOX 5 NY's Teresa Priolo has the details.

Seeing a creature so close to extinction in such raw beauty is rare. This white rhino, photographed in Sabi Sands during my 2022 BootCamp Safari, is one of my favourite moments. I waited for it to step into the light, and patience paid off—creating this powerful monochrome shot.

What do you think?

Day 3 of trying to relearn this song.
Yes, right hand only atm.

Far from perfect, but I got 2/3 of the song already. Great progress for 3 days.

Do you recognize which song that is?

A wolf caught on camera in BC was seen using a tool to open a crab trap, potentially the first documented instance of a wild wolf using a tool!🐺

Wolves are already known for their intelligence, but seeing this level of planning and precision in action is truly remarkable.

The Trump administration announced it intended to restore changes to the ESA, a move quickly criticized as ensuring a death sentence to countless species.

The new regulations include changes that will eliminate protections afforded to threatened species under Section 4(d) of the Act. bit.ly/3XJbkDP

My old S7+ is approaching retirement. It's been a tough year so I'm relying on family, friends, and supporters to get this during Black Friday sales. The amount will cover the S11 Ultra, its cover, charger, insurance for 2yrs, and shipping.

Cuddling the whole evening already with this cutie because he's a bit unwell.

Nothing breaks my heart more than seeing and feeling him suffer.

But also nothing heals my heart more than his trust and love.

62 wolves have been killed in Montana since hunting season opened. Killing wolves is neither supported by science nor ethics, yet it becomes a reality when wolves lose federal ESA protections.

As the numbers climb, how many more wolves will be lost without reason?

Throwback to our beloved ambassador, Zephyr. 🐺

His howl echoes for the hundreds of wolves being silenced as protections are stripped away.
