I know everyone is on edge waiting and hoping and waiting and angsting and waiting and wishing and the list goes on and on. We’re still very hopeful that red wolves 1287 and 1369 will become parents any day. Remember, however, she may not be pregnant and she may just be going through a pseudo pregnancy, which would obviously be overwhelmingly disappointing. We’ve still got a few more prime days, and we’re still hoping we’ll be pleasantly surprised. In the meantime, takeRead more

QuikPost: red wolf update
We had both the male and female red wolves off exhibit last week to try to help them more positively bond with each other. It appears that the male bit the female a few weeks ago. She recovered really well from her wound, but when you see her now on exhibit you might notice her shaved neck. If you head to the wolf exhibit, please let us know what you notice our red wolves doing. Thanks!Read more
New Faces

Photos of Red Wolf 1287

She did bed down in the hay, she did eat a bunch of her food (she’s on a special diet…). Subjectively,Read more
Red Wolf 1287 is here!
It’s been a long day, (although I guess it technically is tomorrow) with multiple issues, but our new red wolf female, 1287, is finally here. We learned in the Summer Red Wolf SSP Master Plan meeting that we would be getting a new female wolf to pair with our male. She was originally due to fly in (on Delta) around 4:30 Tuesday afternoon. However, without going into details, she arrived to RDU airport around 11 PM Tuesday night. As usual, I don’t haveRead more
