Top Photo: Carolina our female red wolf right, Jacques left.
A quick note for red wolf watchers:
Our female is showing signs she is in proestrus which may last from 9-16 days, depending on what source you reference (I read one study which says proestrus lasts 6 weeks in red wolves. I’m sticking with 9-16 days, though in truth, I’ll leave the length of proestrus to the experts).
However long proestrus is, our female, Carolina, is there. I don’t know exactly when she entered proestrus but next in line on the estrus cycle is estrus, often referred to as “heat,” when the female becomes receptive and mating occurs.
I will be watching.
