Wolves in the Mexican Gray Wolf Species Survival Plan or their offspring may be reintroduced to the wild. It is important to maintain the wolves' natural feeding habits along with other behaviors that make them wild animals. In order to provide real life feeding experiences for the Zoo's wolf pack, they receive prey carcasses from time to time. During your Zoo visit, you may have a unique opportunity to observe them feeding as wolves naturally do in the wild.
