M1803 has been at the Museum for just about 15 months– not long at all. He’s been a huge presence since his arrival back in November 2017. We crated him up Tuesday morning November 14 and drove him from the Wolf Conservation Center in one very long day of driving. Here’s the very first blog post we put up about him— before he even arrived at the museum! Click here to see the first pictures of him settling in withRead more
Brother Wolves: 2246 & 2247
I can’t keep calling M2246 and M2247 pups. They haven’t been pups for many many months. However, they were pups born at the Museum on April 20, 2018 and, unlike with the pups born in 2017, are still here almost one year later. All these pictures of our juveniles are from mid January.

Auggie’s vet visit
Auggie went on a field trip yesterday. The end of last week we noticed he was having difficulty chewing and swallowing hard foods. According to Dr. Mozzachio, this is a sure sign of teeth issues. So, we packaged him up and took him in. Pictures below from the catch-up. Aaron, Chris, and Katie ran through how the catch up would work the day before– it went smoothly: in practice and on the day off. Auggie is back from his appointment.Read more
QuikPic: office mate
I have a new office mate for a bit while projects are occurring near his home. Literally as I am typing this he started peeping. I turned around and he had cast a pellet. (Check out a video of him doing this, here).Read more
