Rieka was born on May 23, 2021, and brought into the Exhibit Pack space on August 9, 2021. She has a known lineage connection to wolves in British Columbia, Canada. At 79 days old, she weighed approximately 23 pounds, making her the smallest pup to be adopted by non-related adults at the International Wolf Center.

Rieka has a bold personality. Even though she was a singleton in 2021, she had the opportunity to socialize with the 2022 litter pups in a way that helped her grow into a more confident, dominant female in the Exhibit Pack. While smaller in size, this Exhibit Pack member is always excited to see the wolf care team and interact with all pack members.

Note: Updates to the ambassador wolf logs have transitioned to vlogs (videos).

These updates and our engaging short videos will provide insights into wolf behaviors and activities. Additionally, you can observe our wolves through the Wolf Cams.
