Our male red wolf finally came out into view long enough for me to snap a few photos. I wanted to get a couple of shots of the wolves standing side by side, for identification purposes. Unlike the last pair of red wolves, who have only been gone a little over a week, our new pair have markings that are very similar. I wasn’t able to get the shots I wanted, but for now, I’ll take what I can get.Read more

Red Wolves Have Arrived
Our new red wolves have arrived. As of this morning (11/16) only the female (#2062) was out and about in the enclosure, cautiously getting used to her new environment. She spent an hour or so familiarizing herself to the smells, sights and sounds of her new digs. The male (#1803) is still in the kennel area, apparently a bit reluctant to wander out of his travel crate. He will surely be out in the enclosure soon. Come on down andRead more
Before We Red Wolves Leave
As you may already know, the red wolves, the entire family, are scheduled to leave us for the Wolf Conservation Center in New York on 13 November. Before they leave, as does happen from time to time with animals who wander into their enclosure, they took out a raccoon. Our adult male (#1784) is shown here gnawing on the unfortunate victim. Good luck in New York, 1784 and family.Read more
18 Weeks
Today is week 18 since the red wolf pups were born here at the Museum of Life and Science in Durham NC. They’re growing rapidly and are very comfortable in their habitat. In fact, they’re so comfortable that they’ve taken over many of the male’s (dad) favorite sunning, cooling, and sleeping spots in the enclosure. One big happy family.Read more
More Red Wolf Pictures
The red wolf pups are frequently out and about inside their spacious enclosure. 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
