I’ve just uploaded some pictures of the new Riparian Exhibit today. The otters were the only animals that were out were the otters. Here’s my review of the exhibit

The Otter Exhibit was extraordinary and incredible. It looked very natural and the animals had plenty of space. The Cutthroat Trout exhibit also turned out to be very nice and the animals will have plenty of space once their on exhibit. However I personally thought the Arctic Grayling Exhibit was disappointing as I wish they had as much space as the Trout and Otters do. Overall though I think this exhibit turned out wonderful and personally pictures do not bring this exhibit complex justice. It’s way better in person

 

The three wolf pups now hav names and will be called the hoodoo pack

Just went to the center today and I have a huge update so let’s get to it

1. The center has two new wolves. A dark gray named Sura who’s twelve years old and a gray male Lakota who’s 14 old. They’ll be joining the wolf pups and they’ll be a pack of 5 once the river valley wolf habitat renovation is completed
2. The Arctic Grayling and Cutthroat Trout r now on exhibit
3. The center has confirmed that the Rubber Boa, Tiger Salamander and the Columbian Spotted Frogs will be the amphibians the center will be getting
4. Grizzly cubs r being slowly introduced to spirit

I’ll post pictures of all the new animals later today

 

The center has finally confirmed that they have two new wolves and as it turns out I was way off with their information (I’m sorry about the misinformation. It’s what one of the naturalists told me and I’m deeply sorry about that). Sura the female is 9 years old and Lakota the male is 13 years old. Lakota turns out is actually related to McKinley and Leopold
