There are now more Mexican gray wolves roaming the southwestern U.S. than at any time since the federal government started reintroducing the endangered species of predators

Officials announced Wednesday, March 30, 2022, that the U.S. population of Mexican wolves has increased by 5% since the previous year, raising the total number of wolves in the wild in New Mexico and Arizona to at least 196 animals. ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
Fewer than 40% of pups survived through the end of the year, though more breeding pairs were recorded in 2021. Unlike wolf reintroductions in Yellowstone National Park and elsewhere in the northern U.S., wildlife managers in the Southwest must deal with a climate that has encouraged a year-round livestock calving season, meaning wolves can prey on the livestock year-round instead of several months of the year.
There are currently about 380 Mexican wolves in more than 60 zoos and other facilities in the two countries. In Mexico, the wild population numbers around 40, officials have said.
