Some mornings the wolves howl multiple times, always stimulated by passing sirens. The precipitating frequency seems to be consistent. Fire trucks are preferred.

Mornings are the active period of day for the family. The pups, however, may be excited by the most mundane of things at any time. They were very suspicious of a floating mass of foam bubbles in the pool at the base of their waterfall. They wouldn’t approach the strange object and seemed spooked and frustrated by it until it finally floated away and faded at the far end of the pond.

Stop by the Red Wolf Enclosure at any time of day, but be more likely to see the animals in motion before noon.
