The Recovering Pacific Pocket Mouse

From U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Pacific Southwest Region:





BREAKING: Once believed to be extinct, the ๐ŸญPacific pocket mouse๐Ÿญ just hit a major milestone in recovery! 

Last night, 40 Pacific pocket mouse individuals, including babies, were found at one of our release sites in Orange County. Based on this info, we're happy to report that the captive-bred animals are adjusting to the wild and have reproduced successfully! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ๐Ÿพ Shout out to San Diego Zoo for their work on this.
