Everyone loves to play with toys - including wolves! As highly social animals that live in well-organized family units called packs, wolves will often engage in social play to strengthen family bonds and assess social status within the pack. When seeking to play, wolves will dance and bow playfully. Playtime can also include a game of chase, jaw sparring, varied vocalizations, and natural toys! Sometimes wolves, including Silas, will play just to have fun! | Wolf Conservation Center

During cold months, red wolves are more active during the day compared to summer when they prefer the cooler evenings. They’ll bury food under the snow to save it for later, a natural instinct for when prey is scarcer in the win
