Groups Seek Federal Probe of NM Wolf Pup Deaths

The Mexican Wolf (Canis lupus baileyi), is the only wolf indigenous to the Southwestern Deserts.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.  -- Conservation groups asked the federal government Thursday to investigate the deaths of three endangered Mexican gray wolves found dead in southwestern New Mexico.

The deaths were a significant blow to the decade-long effort to reintroduce the species in the Southwest. The most recent survey showed there were just 52 wolves scattered between New Mexico and Arizona at the end of 2008.

"Because Mexican gray wolves are so rare, every wolf out there is important to the population," said Michael Robinson of the Center for Biological Diversity.
