QuikPost: new wolf is here
I drove almost 1000 miles last week to get our new male wolf, 1414. He’s 7 years old, over 70 pounds, and he’s sired pups for the past three years at the Miller Park Zoo. We’re hoping that he and our female (1287) will have pups together this spring. We’ll share photos of him soon.Read more
It’s time to say goodbye.
Our male red wolf, 1369, heads out on Tuesday to his new home. I drove him to the Museum from NY and welcomed him just about 4 years ago and now it’s time to say goodbye.

Endangered Species: 12 in 12 for 12
Kimberly’s post about the 10 most endangered animals, specifically the giant Chinese salamander photo, reminded me of this really neat (and wacky) campaign that Gabby Wild has been undertaking. She has combined her interest in fashion with animals and created the 12 in 12 for 12 campaign. Here’s an excerpt from her website about this project. She will be wearing 12 animal-inspired and originally-designed outfits in 12 months for 12 endangered species all throughout 2012. Yes, Gabby is onlyRead more
Groundbreaking update.
Groundbreaking for the red wolf center in Columbia, NC occurred last week. Kim Wheeler posted this video of day one of work. (And while we’re talking wolves, BIG THANKS for supporting the Crowdrise challenge: the red wolf coalition took second place and earned an additional $15,000!).
