On September 9th, 2002 the Zoo acquired a new breeding pair of Mexican gray wolves.

The 4 year old female wolf and 3 year old
male were shipped from Belle Isle Zoo in
Michigan. After their flight they were
unloaded from their crates and housed
together in four connecting pens at the Zoo.

The wolves were given a few days to get
accustomed to their new quarters before
getting an entrance exam by one of the Zoo’s veterinarians.
