My sister, niece and I went to volunteer at Wolf Connection during spring break.
This is Maya the Arctic Wolf. She is a sweetie. My sister and niece and I couldn't go in all the wolf pens to spend time with the wolves. But Maya is a very gentle wolf and Kenai was fine with us in their "den".
Wolves might look like dogs but there are a lot of differences. Wolves can crush bone in their jaws and they have very large paws and long spindly legs. They are also much larger than an average dog. I have a husky and this is how she looks.
And this is me with Maya the Wolf
Do you see the difference in their size? Plus wolves are much more powerful than dogs. Of course every dog has descended from the wolf.
Here are a few photos of my time at the wolf sanctuary.
This is Teo and Rene. They are the leaders of the pack at Wolf Connection.
And this is a video clip of the wolves howling as a pack.
This is my sister Tammy carrying some of the poo away from the pens.
It was a great way to spend a vacation.
