AZGFD releases endangered Sonoran pronghorn from captive breeding [View all]

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Six endangered Sonoran pronghorn are roaming free in Sonora, Mexico after the Yuma Arizona Game and Fish Department recently released them from a semi-captive breeding program.

Officials say the pronghorn were moved from the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge near Ajo, Ariz.

The breeding program has been ongoing since 2004, when Mexican authorities gave six pronghorn to the state. During that time the herd within Arizona has grown from 22 individuals to 450 total.
