Luna – Easy to Spot in the White Snow

 A wolf’s guard hairs may range in color from white to black and there seems to be some patterns based on geographic location.  Luna’s dark coloration is easy to spot in a snowy landscape, but arctic wolves with their light colored guard hairs certainly blend in with their environment. As part of the Center’s wolf management plan, we are scheduled to introduce pups into the Exhibit Pack this summer. Our tentative plans include the addition of arctic subspecies to allow visitors and web viewers the opportunity to see the physical adaptions characteristic of wolves from a variety of geographic regions.
