March 25, 2026, Seattle, Washington, USA: Members of a new pack of endangered Mexican Gray Wolves (Canis lupus baileyi) explore their habitat at Woodland Park Zoo on Wednesday, March 25, 2026. The zoo is celebrating Lobo Week, an annual event from March 22-29 that commemorates the 1998 return of the ”lobo” to the wild and raises awareness for the rarest subspecies of gray wolf in North America. This pack, consisting of four 6-year-old brothers named Tamaska, Hayes, Lorenzo, and Benito, arrived from the California Wolf Center as part of the Saving Animals From Extinction (SAFE) initiative.

April 15, 2026, Seattle, Washington, USA: Mexican Gray Wolves (Canis lupus baileyi) rest on a rock at Woodland Park Zoo. The species, also known as ”lobos,” remains one of the most endangered mammals in North America, with a wild population of fewer than 300 individuals in the United States. Conservation efforts reached a major milestone this month with the historic release of eight wolves into their ancestral habitat in Durango, Mexico, the first time the species has roamed the region since the 1970s. Meanwhile, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs recently vetoed HB 2787, a bill that would have prohibited state agencies from cooperating with federal recovery programs for the subspecies.

March 3, 2026, Seattle, Washington, USA: World Wildlife Day 2026 was celebrated at Woodland Park Zoo, where Juniper, a Coastal Alaskan Brown Bear (Ursus arctos gyas), and Fern, a Montana Grizzly (Ursus arctos horribilis), made appearances. Their long winter rest is ending. As they wake from torpor, it takes them weeks to fully adjust. They move slowly as they stretch, walk, and climb, almost as if in slow motion. The bears are getting used to their surroundings again and noticing what has changed over the winter. They look slimmer, having lost 15 to 30 percent of their weight. Their eating starts off slowly, since their digestive systems need time to handle a summer diet of up to 20,000 calories a day. (Credit Image: © Shane Srogi/ZUMA Press Wire)
