Wolves are shy by nature, and keeping release candidates from becoming habituated to humans helps protect them in the wild. That’s because our Center is also home to release candidates who may one day play a role in species recovery efforts in the wild. You may notice you won’t see red wolves or Mexican wolves on this tour. Training is also part of our animals’ enrichment program, since it allows them to be stimulated and positively rewarded for their cooperation. Training is important because it helps make it possible for our animal care staff and veterinarians to do their jobs more safely and easily through the willing participation of the animals. Why training is beneficial to the animals in our care This includes swift foxes, African painted dogs, maned wolves and our arctic fox and red fox. On this tour you’ll meet some of the animals in our care who, either because they were recovered from the pet trade or their native countries do not have release areas, are unable to live on their own in the wild. This type of communication forms the foundation for the encouragement-based training philosophy we use here at the Endangered Wolf Center. Tour Highlights See encouragement-based training in action
