It was anounced tonight on Blackpool Zoo,s facebook that a pack of wolves will be arriving hopefully before summer. No details yet of the pack. I simply adore wolves.
I was going to announce this news later, they are coming from Woburn and there Iberian Wolves. I believe there 1.1 brother-sister.
I was going to post this as well oh well . Their enclosure will be behind the bongo paddock near wallaby walk through in the wooded area. Hopefully some more species in the area for the future.
I knew they were looking into getting them quite a few months ago aswell as Anteaters but was told to keep quiet, can't wait to see them.
Good that another UK Zoo will exhibit the Spanish Wolf. 'Pack' indicates more than a pair but maybe that's what they will start with. However if as suggested they are siblings, they may be looking to exchange one or bring in additional animals perhaps?
I believe that the siblings are arriving together and after they've settled in then one will be exchanged with another Wolf from a different Zoo to hopefully create a breeding pair. I've attached a photo of where the enclosure is to be, construction has already begun.
