Canis lupus baileyi (Mexican wolves) commonly known as "lobo" once inhabited Mexico and the extreme southwestern United States. The Mexican wolf is the most endangered of the subspecies It is one of the rarest land mammals on earth. There currently are 220 wolves in 41 captive facilities around the United States and Mexico. In March 1998, 35 Mexican wolves in six packs were released in Apache National Forest in Arizona. Currently there is 22-25 free ranging wolves in the Apache and Gila National Forest in Arizona and New Mexico.
Thought some might enjoy these pictures. See album in the gallery. With luck there will me more to come in the next few weeks.

Such beautiful animals and such beautiful photos. I was just correcting a myth with my students about a week ago. I asked them to compare wolves and coyotes for a comparison paper. Many stated that wolves didn't live in Arizona. I will be sure to share your photos with them when spring break is over. Thank you again for sharing their beauty with us
