Durham's Museum Of Life And Science Celebrates Birth Of 7 Endangered Red Wolf Pups
The Museum of Life and Science in Durham, North Carolina is celebrating the birth of seven critically endangered red wolf pups. Museum staff are calling the new litter "a beacon of hope for the species and a significant milestone in our conservation efforts."
