Red Wolf Pups

Just a few photos of the red wolf pups. Visitation is increasing as we begin to allow more and more escorted museum guests to enter the overlook to view the wolves. The photos were taken as the wolves occupied a dug-out “den” in the exposed roots of a cut-off pine tree near the center of the enclosure, an easy spot from the overlook. The pictures were taken Wednesday (5/16). Today (5/17), the pups were in the den and viewable onRead more

Red Wolf Speculation

Red wolf mating season has come and gone. The first confirmed mating was on February 14, nearly two months ago. Average gestation period for these canids is 63 days. The photo above shows a comparison of our female then and now. The left side of the photo shows her in mid December 2017, the right side, April 5, Thursday of last week. Do you see a difference? Here’s another shot of female 2062’s belly taken same day as right sideRead more

She tends to stay at the top of the enclosure’s ridge when people are present at the overlook. Neither, however, are difficult to locate. In fact, they’re typically quite mobile, frequently moving about. Our female seemed very excited to find the beef knuckle tossed in by theRead more

They’re not always out in the open, but if you have patience and a water bottle (it’s been hot lately) you stand a very good chance at seeing at least one of the pups on your visit to their overlook. The banner across the top of this page and the photo above are of the male and female watching the animal keepers as they both clean theRead more

Red Wolf Pups

You’ve no doubt heard that on April 28 our female red wolf gave birth to pups. We now have four new additions to our red wolf enclosure. The pups are becoming more agile, and bold, as each day passes. The entire family was briefly out in front of their den when the photos presented here were taken on a damp and rainy 23 May. Enjoy!Read more

Red Wolf Pups and Family

If you were planning to stop by the Museum of Life and Science to have a look at our new red wolf pups, by all means do so. We’ve got our den cam up and running and the pups are visible via the monitor at the Red Wolf Overlook. Both male and female have frequently been seen walking about the enclosure. The male has been spotted delivering food to the female (lab rats). He’s also been observed regurgitating his own food (meatRead more
