In Loving Memory...
On September 30, 1996 The Mexican wolf program lost a very special Mexican gray wolf.
Selenio died at 13 years of age due to a stroke. Born in May of 1983, Selenio was one of the
oldest members of the Mexican gray breeding program. He was born at the Wolf Sanctuary but
was pulled from his parents at nine days of age and was transferred to the St. Louis Zoo�s
Children Zoo for hand-rearing, a hedge against possible catastrophic loss of such precious young
if disease or severe weather should hit the Wolf sanctuary. The birth of Selenio and his sister
Luna brought the world�s population of Mexican grays to 10 animals.
During his lifetime Selenio moved around quite a bit to other facilities. In 1994 he returned
to the WCSRC which would serve as his geriatric home until his death. Selenio served as a proud
ambassador for the Mexican gray wolf. He will be missed greatly by all of those who came in contact
with him.
