We’re taking a break from wolf updates this week to let you know about another Oatland resident – Shanti! This July he turns 4, and we’ll be celebrating with him on Sunday the 24th! Join us at 11am as Shanti receives a “birthday cake.” If you’d like to bring him a “present” check out the flyer for a list of some things he likes. These items will help us continue to keep him busy and entertained.
Last week the pups had their first “field trip” to the wolf enclosure. This marked the first time the pups had been in close proximity to our current pack. We first let them sniff each other in an off-exhibit holding area through fencing (photo on the left). We saw only positive interactions so we moved forward with the introduction and allowed our alpha male, Tundra, into the holding area to meet the pups. He was a little overwhelmed by all the rambunctious energy, but overall everything went very well!
The pups will continue to be kept in a secure off-exhibit location, but we will supervise visits with the adult wolves periodically.
