I’m so happy I saw a wolf, it’s been much too long! I’m sad my iPhone photos suck so much.

Although wolves use varied vocalizations to express themselves, howls are certainly the most popular.
Just like us, each wolf has a unique voice so distinctive features of each individual’s howl allow wolves to identify each other.
If you listen carefully to Silas + Nikai, you'll notice that their howls are unique yet somehow come together to create the most beautiful music.

Get ready for a dose of adorable!
We've all had those mornings, and it seems Mexican gray wolf pup Kazoo is no exception! He's so deep in his puppy dreams that it takes the combined efforts of his entire pack to wake him up!
Beyond being cute, this a glimpse into the close-knit and affectionate nature of wolf families. Every interaction, even a collective wake-up call, is a testament to the strong bonds they share.
Eager to play, Mexican gray wolf Sonda puts his baby brother's head in his mouth!
Six-week-old Kazoo & his big brother Sonda have a bond that's as special as it is adorable. Their playful interactions weave a heartwarming tale of true sibling love.
Beyond being cute, these exchanges play a crucial role in their development. Through the joy of play, they learn, they grow, & they strengthen the bonds that make them family.
A wolf pack is a tightly-knit family capable of developing extraordinary traditions and social behaviors finely tuned to its precise environment. By passing knowledge from one generation to the next, wolves maintain traditions unique to their particular family.

German officials hosted a #wolf summit to discuss wolves. Livestock organizations vehemently protested any protection of wolves, stating instead that they would like to hunt wolves and see them eliminated from Germany.
But most people and prominent conservation figures are highlighting the lack of scientific evidence supporting a hunt and also calling out the hypocrisy of Germans wanting to ban trophy hunting in other countries but not their own.
Last week, the US House Natural Resources Committee voted in favor of HR 764, Lauren Boebert’s legislation which seeks to permanently remove federal ESA protections for gray wolves in the lower 48. The full House could take this bill up within weeks.
Five other bills & resolutions that threaten to undermine the ESA were also passed, including HR 1245 & HR 1419, which seek to remove federal ESA protection for 2 populations of grizzly bears.

The howl of the wolf is a language born of the wild, a testament to their unyielding spirit and the harmony of their pack; let it remind us that connection, loyalty, and communication hold the power to unite and guide us through life's untamed journey.
One of the most beloved matriarchs at the Wolf Conservation Center turns 15 today - join us in wishing Mexican gray wolf Rosa a happy birthday! 
We've had the privilege of witnessing Rosa grow from a newborn pup into the intelligent, loving, and fierce wolf that she is today. Her tenacity inspires us, and we're so thankful that her children were raised by this powerful female - they will be better wolves because of her.
We love you, Rosa!
Wolves nap together, live together, and, most importantly, love together.
For wolves, family is everything.

Federal employees killed an endangered Mexican gray wolf.
Affectionately named Rusty by a middle school student in a nationwide contest, the wolf was killed on April 12, leaving behind his likely pregnant mate and several yearling pups.
Get this... The Service quietly authorized the killing on March 29, 2023 – on the day marking the 25th anniversary of Mexican wolves’ return to the wild.
Raising pups is a family affair, so it is natural for all the wolves to pitch in!
Older siblings help out by regurgitating food for young pups; they'll also protect and babysit them. While pitching in, wolves will learn critical parenting strategies and techniques from their parents for when they have pups of their own.
Passing down knowledge from one generation to the next allows families to maintain traditions unique to their pack.
