The zoo recently saw their Red Wolf pair "Bruser" and "Kai" give birth to pups, and some of those pups were released into the wild. Tetzloff says the pups that are still at the zoo are doing well. As for the pups that were released into the wild, they may never hear how they are doing. He says the area they are released into is such a large area, keeping tabs on all of them is very tough.

Tetzloff says the zoo has pictures of the babies on their website and it is updated several times a week. The zoo is open 7-days a week from 9:30-4:30 throughout the year.
