August World of Wolves
Nine Mexican Wolf Pups and How They've Grown
Last week our animal care staff caught up all nine Mexican wolf pups, who were born to F1422 (Vida) and M1360 (Kochi) this spring, for their second health check. In addition to the general physical exam, all pups received their boost of vaccines, dewormer and a microchip. The birth of this litter was a significant boost for the conservation of the critically endangered Mexican wolf. All nine pups are in great physical condition and robust weight (20.8 - 25.1 lbs), thanks to Vida and Kochi's dedicated parenting care. See pup album.
(Our Tenino sanctuary will remain closed through the remainder of the year due to coronavirus health concerns. We hope you are all staying safe and healthy.)

Lions, tigers, wolves - why buy?
As a guest author for our summer issue of Wolf Tracks, Tim Harrison described the heartbreaking phenomenon of Americans owning dangerous wild/exotic animals as household "pets". The organization that he founded in 2001 with a group of police officers, firefighters and paramedics was the subject of a 2010 award-winning documentary "The Elephant in the Living Room."

Tim Harrison's nonprofit, Outreach for Animals, has a mission to teach young people to respect wildlife and their natural habitat.
