As they get older and braver, the pups will begin to adventure around the exhibit and become more visible. Right now they can be difficult to see,” said Zoological Manager, Ben Roberts.The pups will remain at Chehaw for a Oregon Wolves not recovered yetcouple of years and may then be reassigned to another facility in order to start their own pack and help this rare species flourish once more.The park said just 100 red wolves roam their native habitats in eastern North Carolina, and nearly 200 red wolves are maintained in captive breeding facilities throughout the United States.
