How to Boop a Pack of Wolves

Exploration is vital to wolves; features of their environment can influence survival. But while wolves have a natural sense of curiosity, their curious nature comes second to their neophobia - a healthy fear of anything new, which may reduce their exposure to danger. Note the how although the unmanned camera evokes curiosity, the Mexican gray wolves approach with trepidation. This Mexican gray wolf family represents the Wolf Conservation Center’s participation in the active effort to save their species from extinction. The WCC, a 501c3 non-profit organization in South Salem, NY, is one of a network of facilities participating in the Mexican Wolf Species Survival Plan - a bi-national initiative whose primary purpose is to support the reestablishment of Mexican gray wolves in the wild through captive breeding, public education, and research.
