I finally figured out how to use the zoom on my phone. The wolves are difficult to snap good pictures of without a zoom.
The female, 1287
The male, 1414

Wolf Update
March 12th, 2013
our two wolves, male 1414 and female 1287, encased in a hopefully love-match.
In 5-6 weeks I hope to be writing about WOLF PUPPIES.
Ranger Greg has been blogging and tweeting about what he’s seen our wolves up to. We certainly hope it’s about puppy-making. We won’t know for sure until we actually see pups since the past two years our female has gone through pseudopregnancies. We have a new male this breeding season, so with 1414 we’re hoping for some renewed hope of actual pups.
Every summer I go to the Red Wolf SSP master plan meeting. I didn’t write about this past summer’s meeting, but did take a photo of our new pair of wolves as drawn during the meeting. You also heard about our shipping out of our former male wolf (1369), including a detailed quiz about my 16 hour drive with Aaron to get 1369 to the airport in Atlanta for his trip out to WA.
Our former wolf, 1369, is doing fine out in Tacoma. I learned he sits outside the den while his new “girlfriend” sits inside the den. He was seen “snuggling” next to her during breeding season. The folks at Tacoma are going to catch him up this week and collect semen on him. (We are not sure if he is able to make pups…understand?)
So, hopefully we’ll have wonderful little additions to blog about in April. Stay tuned.

Wolf pups would be such a great thing for the red wolf captive population and for the species as a whole. I’m very excited to keep up with your blogs and to see what comes of this.

Poor wolves
I love them. How can anyone be so mean and cruel? No cares that they are endangered. Can’t anyone help these poor creatures

Struggles continue for red wolves
May 29th, 2012The road is tough for red wolf survival. I wrote in March about another possible setback for red wolves. The NC Wildlife Resources Commission passed the proposed rule allowing night hunting of coyotes and feral pigs. There is a long process ahead, so maybe miracles do exist for this amazing animal.
If you’re interested in signing a petition “against” this ruling, click here, or go to http://forcechange.com/20384/overturn-decision-to-allow-unlimited-night-hunting-in-north-carolina/

I have to admit I love hunting and the outdoors. That said, I’m a big fan of reasonable regulation. What fun is hunting with artificial lights? And if we hunt all the animals all the time now, what will there be left to hunt later? Hunters are natural conservationists — unfortunately many of us just won’t know it until it’s too late. Good luck with your petition!

Groundbreaking for Red Wolf Center!
May 8th, 2012
Kim breaks ground!
Kim Wheeler, the Executive Director of the Red Wolf Coalition, sent me some photos of groundbreaking for the new wolf exhibit out in red wolf country. This will be the only facility located in the heart of red wolf country- where red wolves roam free – where people can actually see a red wolf. The enclosure will be finished sometime this summer, and I’ll keep you informed as to when wolves will arrive for viewing. It’s exciting!!
truck loads of fencing materials arrived May 7.
Installation begins.

Thanks!

I took pictures of what I think may be a family of Red Wolves. How can I submit these and find out for sue. They are in a senior developement and I fear they may be shot.

Crowdrise challenge: help raise money for red wolves
May 1st, 2012
The Red Wolf Coalition- the only not-for-profit whose only goal is to advocate for the long term survival of the red wolf – is part of an Earth Day Fundraiser through Crowdrise. Right now through May 15th, the Coalition is part of Crowdrise’s Earth Day Challenge. Any dollar amount large or small would help. Donate in honor of the Museum’s wolves, an animal keeper, or just because.
Consider donating:
$25. One dollar for each year the red wolf has been restored to the wild at Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge.
$20. One dollar for each year the Museum has housed red wolves.
$13. One dollar for every red wolf pup born at the Museum
$10. One dime for each wolf that roams free at Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge.
The link to the fundraiser is below:

Hi Sherry- We have a question: A friend saw an animal at the museum that she says looks like a rabbit but isn’t a rabbit. What could it be? I haven’t seen whatever it is so I couldn’t help! Thought I’d go straight to the source!
-
…..wondering if there is an address where I can mail a donation. I’m an old school fool in regards to donating via the internet.

Another possible set back for red wolf conservation
March 2nd, 2012
As if the endangered red wolf didn’t have the deck stacked enough against it, a new law is being proposed that could make life for the 100+ red wolves that roam free in NC much harder. The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has proposed making night hunting of coyotes and feral pigs legal throughout North Carolina, including the five county area where red wolves roam free. This rule would allow unlimited hunting 24 hours a day with the use of artificial lights. If adopted, the night-hunting rule would go into effect August 1, 2012.
You can go to the Red Wolf Coalition to learn more, or directly to NC Wildlife proposed regulations to view the regulation and add your comments (against, or even in support of the law).
