Top Photo: A new world opens up to the red wolf pups.

Born on May 5, our three male and two female red wolf pups are now freely moving around their enclosure. They’re  staying fairly close to the security of the den, but moving further each day.

The photos here deal with a brief few minutes when Carolina, the pups’ mother, called the pups out for a feeding and brief play period. Jacques, for unknown reasons, asserted his dominance over Carolina.

I’m not sure what Jacques was saying to Carolina in this exchange. Females are typically “in charge.” Come on out and witness red wolf behavior yourself. You may learn something you didn’t know.

Have a good (cool) day.
