I mentioned in my Christmas Blog post that I spent a bit of time watching the wolves search for food. Some blurry photos of the male wolf, M1803, in his efforts, along with a quick video. Scroll all the way to the bottom so you can see him when he first arrived. I love this video of M1803 when he first arrived on grounds. Keeper Sarah caught this of him in sloth-mode. His nerves- and speed —Read more

New Wolves settling in
It’s been a whirlwind getting our family of wolves checked out and up to NY and then getting in our new wolves. I think it was about 50 hours from beginning of transfers to the end. The family is doing well in NY and you can check them out, and the other wolves at WCC, on the webcams. Our new wolves- M1803 and F2062 – handled their trips into the Museum well. As you know, M1803 had a long rideRead more
Wolf Physicals (and Transfer) Complete

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
Pupdate #22- all grown up and heading out.

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
1803: meet our incoming male red wolf
You learned last week that our current red wolf family will be moving out and that we’d be getting new red wolves in November. Our next male red wolf will be coning to us from the Wolf Conservation Center in NY. My friend from the Wolf Conservation Center in NY sent me these beautiful photos of M1803. He’s 7 years old (born May 6, 2010) and has sired two litters of pups back in 2014 and 2015. I’ve been toldRead more
