I seem to recall seeing some Mexican wolves while at the zoo in Phoenix, AZ (it may have been at the Arizona-Senora Desert Museum, one of the 2). The description of the species at the zoo mentioned that there were only a few hundred of them left and it broke my heart to see the wolf knowing how endangered it was.
