Happy National Wolf Awareness Week! 🐺🐾

Wolves are the largest members of the Canidae family, a group of mammals that includes coyotes, foxes, jackals, or other wild dogs. On average, wolves can weigh between 31 and 143 pounds and stand about 30 inches tall at the shoulder.

The size of wolves can vary, however, depending on the regions they're in. Wolves that occupy northern regions are typically larger due to colder temperatures, while wolves in the south are smaller, due to warmer temperatures.

In addition to our Howl-o-ween event on Saturday, October 24th, we will have Keeper Talks at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. We will also be tabling throughout the day, so come stop by and show your appreciation for our wolf ambassadors Pilot and Index! 🩶

Enjoy the video of Niles, one of our ambassadors, taking a much needed bath in her inside habitat!

Our cranes have full access to their indoor/outdoor habitats throughout the year. Because they are migratory species, they can choose to go into their heated rooms during the colder months! Here, Niles has decided to get away from the cold and also clean herself!

Naturally, sandhill cranes go through a cleaning process called preening so they can remove dirt, as well as shed, or molt, their feathers for the upcoming winter!🪶

Happy (belated) National Badger Appreciation Day!

Badgers play an important role in our ecosystem! When they dig, they aerate and turn over the soil, while also providing shelter and protection for other animals! We appreciate Roxanne and all badgers for the important role they play in our ecosystem!

Come visit Roxanne, our American Badger, and see just what an awesome excavator she is! You might even catch Roxanne getting the occasional zoomies! 🦡🖤
