Six of the ‘world's most endangered' wolves are born at TN zoo. See them snuggle
Six of the 'world's most endangered' wolves were born in Tennessee, bringing renewed hope for their species. An adorable video posted on Facebook shows the red wolf pups snuggling after making their debut at Zoo Knoxville. 'There are only about 20 red wolves known to remain in the wild, and fewer than 300 in managed care,' Terry Cannon, curator of carnivores and Kids Cove at the zoo, said in a May 8 news release. 'Every birth is critical. These pups are part of the future of the species.' The little ones were born to mom Cirilla and dad Buckeye. The two were paired together to try to 'ensure genetic diversity among the small population of red wolves remaining,' according to the wildlife park. Red wolves, which can grow to be about 80 pounds, have been called the most endangered wolf species on Earth. They once lived across parts of the southern and eastern United States but nearly disappeared at one point, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. 'After being declared extinct in the wild in the 1980s due to habitat loss and hunting, they were reintroduced in limited numbers in North Carolina,' the zoo wrote. 'Despite decades of conservation efforts, red wolves remain critically endangered, facing ongoing threats and confusion with coyotes in the wild.' As part of the zoo's effort to protect the rare species, it welcomed its litter of pups on Earth Day, April 22. The video shared on social media showed the newborns getting their medical checkups, and some Facebook users said they couldn't get enough of the cuteness. 'The pups were closely monitored during their first week to ensure healthy development and weight gain, but now the animal care team is stepping back to let the parents raise them,' the zoo wrote. 'Cirilla, who had one previous litter before coming to Zoo Knoxville, has shown strong maternal instincts.' As of May 8, zoo visitors aren't yet able to see the babies in person. 'They're currently living in the wolf dens under the care of both mom and dad,' JJ Jones, media manager for the zoo, told McClatchy News via email. 'They're still quite small and have just started to open their eyes, so they're not visible to the public at this time. We have six pups in total — three boys and three girls. They have not been named yet, and it's still too early to share any insight into their individual personalities.'

Tioga County Historical Society reopens with brand new look
OWEGO, NY (WIVT/WBGH) – The Tioga County Historical Society is preparing to show off its brand new look following months of interior renovation. The museum on Front Street in Owego is holding a grand reopening party this weekend. Over the past 4 months, major upgrades and reorganization has occurred in the 65 year old building. There's new carpet and flooring throughout and the research center and gift shop have been moved to the upper floor, in part to protect them from potential flooding by the nearby Susquehanna River. The Historical Society is also celebrating the opening of 3 new exhibits: one focused on Abraham Lincoln, another on agriculture and textiles and the third looking at the hsitory of Earth Day. Executive Director Gerry Smith says it's his job to bring these stories from the past to life. 'I get to tell stories, because that's what I always considered myself, a storyteller. They'll ask a question or they'll push the button and watch video segments explaining the stories here. Because I tell people there are 6 main themes, they all revolve around the Lincoln portrait and Kevin Bacon has nothing to do with it,' he said. The Lincoln exhibit, titled 'Now He Belongs To The Ages' is centered around a portrait of the president based on a photo by the legendary 19th Century photographer Matthew Brady and its connection to Owego. A Grand Reopening fundraiser will be held from 6 to 8 on Saturday featuring music by Rick Pedro and food from the Cellar Restaurant. There is no admission fee, but good will donations are encouraged.
