According to a USFWS biologist, this female was born at the Akron Zoo in 2021 and then 2 weeks later she was fostered into the den of a wild Red Wolf at Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, NC.

In mid-April 2023 she had a litter of pups and the family group was released into the wild in late May.
