The Mexican Wolf

Far out in the mountains and forests of the American Southwest lives one of the rarest wolves on Earth: the Mexican wolf.

More specifically, this is the home of Luna, a young Mexican wolf who loves being part of a pack even if she secretly longs for some new blood.

One night, Luna hears a howl echoing through a canyon and becomes convinced she’s discovered another wolf pack. But as Luna continues exploring the mysterious canyon, she discovers something surprising about echoes, loneliness, and hope.

Join Carie, Lincoln, and Eliza as they explore the wild world of the Mexican wolf, also known as el lobo.
