Ernesta Gray Wolf Update

The Chicago Zoological Society is saddened to report that Ernesta, a Mexican gray wolf who once resided at Brookfield Zoo, was found deceased in the Gila wilderness recovery area on January 7, 2015. Her death is still being investigated by U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service officials. Ernesta resided at the zoo from November 2010 until October 2012. She was then transferred to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s Sevilleta Wolf Management Facility at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico, in preparation for her second release to the wild, which occurred in July 2014.
