Trumpet is named after a real wolf located at the Wolf Conservation Center in New York!
On the morning of May 4, 2016, Mexican gray wolf Rosa gave birth to a single pup – a robust little girl nicknamed "Trumpet" for her loud squeals. Unbeknownst to her, Trumpet had been warming the hearts of a global audience via the WCC's remote webcams. Her fans were elated to learn that she would be introduced to a new lobo in town during fall of 2017 -Mexican gray wolf LightHawk. On April 30, 2018, Trumpet welcomed three pups of her own. They've since welcomed four more pups, one of whom now lives in the wild!
