International Wolf Center, Ely, MN

 The Wolf Center studies the habits of the wolves and has special educational programs.  We learned how they hunt and share food.  They have huge canine teeth which they use to kill their prey.
 They have 3 Arctic wolves and 2 gray wolves.
 These wolves have been socialized and are not afraid of humans, but they are wild and dangerous.
Part of the Saturday night program was to watch them eat.  On this particular evening, they dined on beaver!

  1. Hey there! Just a note that the IWC wolves are all gray wolves (species) and they have three different subspecies or types of gray wolves: two Arctic subspecies (Grayson and Axel), two Rocky Mt subspecies (Aidan and Denali) and one great plains subspecies (Boltz) on public exhibit (details at www.wolf.org).
