Update on Al

 

There is currently a sign at the wolves saying animals off exhibit and shh, quiet zone. My sister said she could see some in a back pen. I read they have 2 new wolves this year as part of ssp recommendations, hopefully some pups were born.

 

How long does it take to see this zoo?

 

Africa over an hour walking rest at most 45 minutes. Beautiful bird collection nearby called Kelloggs Bird Sanctuary.

 

Update from my visit yesterday:

• Al the Tortoise is very sick. Currently he stick inside taking food from a tube. He will eventually be allowed out again when his medication begins working.

 

Last I knew al was having a foot issue (since last year) my sister went this past Sunday and said she heard a keeper giving a tour saying that they do have wolf pups. No official announcement yet.

 

Sad news, 3 of the 4 wolf pups born june 14th have passed. One of pneumonia and the other 2 of EEE. There is a link on their Facebook page to an official press release that has more details.
