Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — Asha, the Mexican gray wolf, otherwise known as “Wandering Wolf”, gave birth to her first litter in mid-May. She came to fame for her repeated trips outside the Mexican wolf recovery area. Asha was repeatedly captured and eventually paired with her mate at the Sevilleta Wolf Management Facility in New Mexico. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said there are plans in place to release Asha and family onto private land in New Mexico this summer. A 2024 population survey revealed a minimum of 286 Mexican wolves were distributed across New Mexico and Arizona.
