Cute Wild Dog Puppies Outside at Brookfield Zoo

The African wild dog pups born last Thanksgiving are now out and about on a regular basis at Habitat Africa: the Kopje at Brookfield Zoo. The 10 pups, born to mom Kim and dad Digger, are now 16 weeks old. As long as the weather remains above 40 degrees, they will have access to their outdoor yard, along with Digger's brother, "Uncle" Duke. Brookfield Zoo is one of 11 accredited North American zoos to have a breeding group and one of only three zoos to produce litters this past year. This litter of six males and four females is critically important to the managed population of African wild dogs in North America. Once common in virtually every environment in southern Africa, excluding rain forests and the driest deserts, African wild dogs now inhabit only the savannahs and grasslands, making them one of the continent's most endangered predators.
