For example: When they went looking for surviving Mexican grey wolves in the '80s they found SEVEN specimens, six males and one female (who was directly related to two of the males). Today we have over a hundred, all healthy animals. Careful breeding with close attention to their genetics made this possible.

You know what I'd say here...
