Flashback Friday: Ellerbe and Eno

It’s hard to remember Eno and Ellerbe as little ones. As you can see below, they are full grown year and a half old red wolves. So… check out these video snips from when the were about one month old. Brace yourself… extreme cuteness to follow and a month later outside of the den:Read more

Flashback Friday- Reptile Enrichment

I try to take a little time on Fridays and reflect. Sometimes it’s about the past week and other times I go further back. I came across these two videos looking through old emails. The moss for the snake, and tomato for the turtle were given to the animals, then the following was captured:Read more

Being a Big Brother

Many people have seen the below video of one of our yearling brother wolves having at the den camera. He removed and destroyed the camera, without ingesting any of it. This is one of the most special (and pretty funny) den video clips from my point of view. So much is going in this clip for me. First, notice that there are pups in the den.

A Report from Ranger Sarah

It was interesting and entertaining to watch the family now that the pups are starting to move on their own.  The pups spent the day onRead more

What a good dad!

Monday we shared video of M1803 in the den while mom, F2062, nursed. Two more videos of Dad’s interactions: the first, is him dropping off food (a rat) for his family. The second has Dad and a pup with some very sweet together time 🙂Read more

Everybody in the den

Ok, so not everybody, but check out this video of 8 of our 10 wolves in the den. Typically, mom, F2062, allows no adult in the den when the pups are young. She’s been seen chasing dad, M1803, out of the den as he sneaks in. (Dad started engaging with last year’s pups at 3 weeks old). However, at just before 6 PM Saturday night, dad stayed in the den. Not sure if he got stuck in the den, butRead more
