Cane, Champ, Puck, Stormy and Whaler are the latest pack of red wolves that were born at the museum in early May. <\/p>\n

As the three males and two females are nearing three months old, CBS 17 spoke with Sherry Samuels, the museum\u2019s director of animal services, about their progress and the name selections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re doing great!\u201d Samuels said of the litter of three males and two females. She added that the big, historic year for the Carolina Hurricanes led naturally to a lot of team-themed suggestions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty exciting for North Carolina and all the guests that come to the museum to get a chance to see the most endangered wolf in the world right here in North Carolina,\u201d Samuels said. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more thrilled.\u201d<\/p>\n

As they\u2019ve grown, Samuels said the five pups are spending much more time out and about in their habitat, especially with the swimming pool now filled for them to enjoy.<\/p>\n
