Here’s some video of our pup check earlier this week. I mentioned yesterday that the pups are developing at different rates. You can not only see it in how they look, but also how they react and walk away from us. Read more

Pups on the move
Gone are the days of a pile of pups in the shape of a heart or just a wiggly pile in the den. The pups are starting to wobble and move on their own a bit. F2062, mom, moved the duo out of the den and under the hollowed out log the night of May 9th. It seems that the little ones were doing a lot of walking on their own in the den and on their way out anyway. A few videoRead more

We added bodies in our wall; had extra people blocking weak spots, and used windscreen instead of tarps for easier manipulation. Numerous meetings and discussions and equipment checks took placeRead more

I mentioned last week the red wolves would be leaving (still true). We’ve got just 4 more days with them here. When you come to see them make sure you are prepared to see full-grown wolves (just a little skinnier). Take a look at them now (pictures below were taken one month ago on October 7). .Read more
