The brothers are 8 months old and were born at the Artis Zoo in Amsterdam. They have distinctive names like Sequoya, Anoki, and Nayati—a tribute to their origins.

These long-legged animals, ranging in color from light gray to almost white, live together in small packs. They are sometimes referred to as tundra wolves. In the wild, their main food source is the North American caribou; in zoos, they are fed primarily beef and chicks. “The transport and integration of the animals went according to plan, and the wolves are already exploring their territory,” says veterinarian Dr. Reinhard Pichler, who is very satisfied with how the young animals are settling in.

Now, during the monthly moonlight tours, the wolves are howling one after another. The Hudson Bay wolves are—alongside the polar wolves and the timber wolves—already the third species of wolf to call Herberstein Animal Park home. Loyal Herberstein visitors will notice that the maned wolf is missing from this list. Despite its name, the maned wolf is not actually a member of the wolf family, but a fox. Its Paraguayan name translates to “big fox.”
