PHOENIX โ A pack of endangered Mexican gray wolves has become two. Two wolves and three of their pups were sent from the Phoenix Zoo to the El Paso Zoo in Texas last month in a bid to bolster the number of predators. The five wolves transferred to Texas were placed in quarantine at the El Paso Zoo until the first week of February. A subspecies of the Western gray wolf, the Mexican gray wolf was listed as endangered in 1976 after being pushed to the brink of extinction.
