The pups have peaks and valleys when it comes to weight gain and can be based on activity, stimuli, amount of time resting and the basic metabolism of an individual pup. Pup Care Staff and Participants monitor all food consumption so we know every detail about their diet, but pups can vary. We look closely […]
Grizzer gets a full check of teeth, gums, eyes, ears, tick check and gets the benefit of wolf care grooming. He seems to enjoy it. We commented on a previous Youtube that Grizzer would be moved to the “East Side” retirement area while the pups use the “Pack Holding Area”, but I should have qualified […]
Axel is a one month old Arctic wolf that has joined the IWC family. During the past week, his coat has lightened and his ears have become erect. He continues to interact with his brother, with some initial dominance characteristics-chin rests, standing over, and vocalizations. He alternates between being the initiator and on the receiving […]
The International Wolf Center Board of Directors is honored to present the 2017 Who Speaks for Wolf award to Heidi Pinkerton. For all she knew, Pinkerton’s role was a simple one at the International Wolf Center during a beautiful summmer afternoon in Ely during 2017. She’d been asked to come by the Center to take some […]
Grizzer likes the wolf care checks when we massage his coat and do a good check for ectoparasites and other issues. His facial expressions certainly tell us that it feels good. During a Wolf Enrichment Webinar last week, the pack was very distracted and seemed to be focused on the upper wood line of […]
We continue to see a lot of howling behavior from Grizzer towards the back of his enclosure. We likely have some activity from other animals in the area surrounding the International Wolf Center. There have been several sightings of Lynx and Bobcats in the Ely area, and prior to the melt, we’ve seen quite a […]
Grizzer has been having a bit of howling stimulus from outside of the enclosure lately. It is the wild wolf breeding season, and certainly wild wolves may be more actively defending territory. We haven’t been fortunate enough to catch it on camera, but the surveillance camera and our closest neighbors have been providing time and […]
Wolf Logs written by Wolf Watch participants Steve Houglum and Marcia Mummau. Aidan is a stoic, quiet, but alert pack leader who doesn’t interfere with the pack dynamics unless he deems it necessary, which isn’t very often. Aidan, Boltz and Luna had a howling session early Saturday morning, awakening the wolf watch group before dawn. […]
Grizzer started the Year 2014 in the middle of two packs, the Retired Pack and the Exhibit Pack. The Retired Pack stimulated most of the howling and kept Grizzer stimulated to rally with high pitched chatter that was unique to his personality. Grizzer howled the low toned howls with Shadow after Malik passed away, and […]
We’ve had a lot of animal activity outside of the enclosures recently. Earlier this week, a volunteer who had stayed overnight at the center woke to Grizzer bark-howling. This is often a territorial response, a severe warning to another that they need to back off. We do know that there is a wolf that has […]
The International Wolf Center advances the survival of wolf populations by teaching about wolves, their relationship to wildlands and the human role in their future.
