We are almost at the end of Wolf Awareness Week, but that doesn't mean you have to stop learning! Wolves are endangered in the United States of America as much of their habitat has been altered by humans & they have been actively hunted as their world collides with ours. Zoo communities are doing their part in conservation by educating communities and teaching about the individuals in our care. #zoony #learning #learningforlifeny #zoonewyork #wolves #wolf #canislupus #w#wolfawarenessweek2020

Proud to partner with ACR Health again for the 21st Annual First Frost Walk! https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3987209981295150

What about wolves in our own backyards? While wolves do not currently live in NYS they are a large part of our history, actually, they are the largest dog species! NYS currently has some habitat with appropriate prey species that we could sustain wolves, especially in the Adirondacks. ... https://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife_pdf/sgcnwolf.pdf https://northernwoodlands.org//article/northeastern-wolves

Did you get your treats doing Boo at the Zoo? Hopefully, yours was candy!!! Sign up for this coming weekend to get some more! Valentine our wolverine got her own yummy treat during Boo!

Gray wolves, timber wolves, arctic wolves, tundra wolves, and many more! Did you know all of these wolves are the same species??????? They are!!! They are all the same scientific name of Canis lupus, but may have subtle differences and many are considered subspecies. The main two species recognized are red or gray wolves, with many different subspecies that are ever-changing. Check it out! https://wolf.org/wolf-info/basic-wolf-info/types-of-wolves/ #wolves #wolfawarenessweek2020 #wolf #learnsomething #learningforlife #natureknowledge #zoony #zoonewyork #Watertownwolves #mustlovedogs

DID YOU KNOW? Keenai here at the Zoo is our male wolf and is the father of our other resident wolf Luna. As a wolf super dad, the father will care for the female (mother) especially after she has pups. He will bring her food while she is nursing, protect her & pups, and actively help raise the pups in each litter till they are adults. ... Kenai has lived with us here at the Zoo since he was a little less than a year, and has fathered four (4) litters of wolf pups. Luna is from one of those litters. #didyouknow #learningforlifeny #zoony #zoonewyork #wolfawareness2020 #wolfawareness #Howlingwithpride #wolfdad #fathersintheanimalkingdom #wolves #graywolves
