"Endangered Mexican Wolf Safely Captured by US Wildlife Managers"

An endangered Mexican wolf that wandered from Arizona to New Mexico has been captured and is now being prepared for potential breeding with two male wolves at a federal facility. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service hopes that the female wolf will successfully bond with a mate and breed, contributing to the population growth of the rarest subspecies of gray wolf in North America. The match-making efforts aim to produce pups in the spring and increase the number of wolves released into the wild. However, environmentalists argue that the recovery boundaries are insufficient to meet the needs of the expanding population, and ranchers remain concerned about the wolves' range expansion.
