Nicholas is named after a real wolf at the Wolf Conservation Center in New York!
On April 26th, Nicholas (m1971) and his two brothers; George (m1970) and Mosby (m1972) were born to Mexican gray wolf Trumpet (F1505). Nicholas was named in memory of an avid 10-year old wolf lover, Nicholas Tasker, so that his love of wolves may live on indefinitely. Nicholas, George and Mosby's littermate, Hope, was chosen to embark on a historic journey – she was the first solo pup ever cross-fostered into a wild Mexican gray wolf family! She's now a living, breathing part of the southwestern landscape where she lives with her adoptive family as a member of Arizona's Saffel pack.
