Participating in a howl is critical in a wolf pup's development. Pups might first begin to squeak out un-solicited howls at just a couple of weeks old. But once their ears open and hearing improves at around one month, wolf pups learn about howling as both a communication tool as well as a method of family bonding. Did we mention they're also really cute when they howl? Tune in to watch the red wolf pups now via live webcams: bit.ly/2F1Jqs6 | Wolf Conservation Center

Wolf pups rely on their mother’s milk for the first 6–8 weeks of life — it’s rich in fat and nutrients to support rapid growth. While nursing usually happens in the safety of a den, as pups grow, these intimate moments can take place in the open. Every pup is a symbol of hope for this endangered species — and Trumpet’s care reminds us just how strong and nurturing wolf mothers truly are. #TrumpetsPups #MexicanGrayWolf #WolfConservation #WolfPups #EndangeredSpecies | Wolf Conservation Center
