The Herberstein wolf pack is growing

The alpha pair, Bjelle and Herbert, are sure to produce offspring. After four wolves were born last year, five pups were born this year. The five pups spent their first weeks in the den; now they are exploring their surroundings.

The polar wolf is one of five North American subspecies of the gray wolf. It is native to the Canadian Arctic Islands and Greenland. Its fur, which is brownish-gray at first, changes to a beige color over the course of its first year of life. It is not until adulthood that they display their snow-white coat.

Animal lovers can get an up-close look at the extended family during the guided feeding, which takes place on Sundays at 2 p.m.
The baby boom is also evident in other enclosures: with Diana the bison, Jumpy the kangaroo, and a whole litter of baby goats in the petting zoo, there are many more young animals to admire. So far this year, an impressive 41 baby animals have been born.

Hours: Daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; visitors may remain on the premises until 6:30 p.m.
