7 red wolf pups welcomed at Durham's Museum of Life and Science

For the first time since 2019, the Museum of Life and Science in Durham has welcomed a litter of critically endangered red wolf pups.

They were born on April 21.

There are seven pups total. The three females and four males, all are in good health.

They are with their mom in the red wolf habitat. The museum said the first 30 days are a critical time so they will have regular monitoring.

The pups probably won't leave the den until early June.
