Rare red wolf finds new home at Beardsley Zoo

BRIDGEPORT — Another rare red wolf now calls the Beardsley Zoo home after arriving in mid-July, the zoo announced on Friday. The wolf, a 3-year-old named Peanut, came from the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, New York. The zoo said the last few weeks were spent making Peanut comfortable in his new home. The zoo’s on-site veterinarian ruled Peanut to be in “excellent physical condition.” He joins the zoo’s female red wolf, Shy, who has been living at the city’s zoo since 2016. “Peanut is a beautiful red wolf, and an important ambassador for his critically endangered species,” said Gregg Dancho, the director of Beardsley Zoo. Peanut and Shy can be seen by visitors between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
