The Virginia Living Museum welcomes a new male Red Wolf named Hyde to the outdoor Boardwalk Trail.
Hyde, a nine-year-old male red wolf, was transferred to the Virginia Living Museum in September from Wolf Haven International in Tenino, Wash. The federal Red Wolf Species Survival Plan recommended Hyde as a companion to the Museum’s resident female red wolf, Katniss.
The Virginia Living Museum exhibits over 250 species of native animals with the Red Wolf being the most endangered mammal in the United States.
Red wolves are highly social pack animals, experiencing the highest levels of welfare when kept together in groups or packs.
Hyde makes his entrance just in time for Red Wolf Awareness Week, Oct.17 – Oct. 23 to educate and share the plight and efforts to recover a species on the brink of extinction. The Museum celebrates with special Keeper Talks and Red Wolf Enrichment at 10 a.m. daily at the Red Wolf Exhibit on the Museum outdoor trail.
