See Endangered Wolves at the Lehigh Valley Zoo


The Lehigh Valley Zoo is putting the spotlight on its endangered Mexican gray wolves all week long, with keeper talks and live wolf feeds.
At 1 p.m. Saturday, March 23, through Saturday, March 30, there will Zoo Keeper Talks at the zoo's Mexican Gray Wolf Exhibit, where you can learn about the wolves and U.S. recovery efforts.
You also can watch wolves being fed at 1 p.m. on Saturday (March 23), Wednesday and Saturday (March 30.)
The Mexican gray wolf is protected by the Endangered Species Act.

The Lehigh Valley Zoo is one of the zoos chosen to be part of a Recovery Plan to help its population grow and ideally be delisted.
Cedar Crest College Professor Amy Faivre wrote a blog on Patch about the zoo's Mexican gray wolves. She wrote that the wolves at the Zoo in 2012 were 4 years old and are all brothers from the same litter. They came from The Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, NY.
