Paquito

Biography
Paquito was born on April 3, 1995 at the Wild Canid Survival and Research Center. He was born to parents Francisco and Sheila. Paquito's mate had the alphanumeric name AF189. With her, they had four pups. Paquito and his family was released to the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area in Arizona sometime in May of 1999. They were destined to form the Mule Pack.

At one point of their time in the wild, they were found scavenging off of a horse. They did not kill it but the U.S. Fish and Wildlife suspected they had killed other livestock. They set out traps to capture the pack, during which AF189 lost a leg to amputation due to frostbite. The pack was moved to Gila Wilderness in March 2000, but Paquito and his mate split up. While AF189 became lost-to-follow-up, Paquito survived.

Paquito joined his sister Zuni and her last surviving puppy of the Pipestem Pack. Paquito continued to raise his niece to be the new breeding pair female after Zuni died. Paquito found a new mate but he was moved to the Wolf Conservation Center for retirement. He was with another female, Mrs. T until he died of cancer on June 2, 2007.

Description
Paquito had a dark brown back, that switched to a yellow-brown color on his body, and eventually faded into white legs. He had a dark brown mask, with a white face and chest. He also had amber eyes.
