The wolves look a lot thinner than I expected though, is that their normal size? We need that mosquito suit here in Texas with the West Nile virus almost an epidemic here in the Dallas area.

This is apparently being done with zoo-born pups in the same manner that you described and has been quite successful with the foster pups readily accepted by the wild ones. Good that they have an opportunity to be raised in the wild and learn the skills necessary to survive out there.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08333995679958103393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-16706795330271446102012-09-01T05:04:38.434-05:002012-09-01T05:04:38.434-05:00After my German Shepherd days with the Police Dept...After my German Shepherd days with the Police Dept, I have always been intrigued by wolves of all kinds. Unfortunately I had to put down a wolf/shepherd that nearly killed a co-workers child. I have been told though that of all wild species the wolf responds to humans the best of any.
