There’s a new wolf on the block at Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area.
Officials with the Woodland Nature Station have announced the new wolf is a three-year old female, currently known as #5525 to their animal ambassador family.
The arrival of the female wolf comes after the passing of Kaya, who was brought to the Nature Station in November of last year and reunited with Jasper, a former mate of hers from another nature center. Kaya and Jasper were red wolves which officials say are a critically endangered species with less than 25 individuals remaining in the wild. Friends of LBL spokesman Jennifer Wheatley told us at that time the Nature Station was proud to have been a part of their breeding and species survival program for 30 years.
