Wolf Park is home to a variety of species including wolves, coyotes, foxes and bison. They live in semi-natural enclosures in small groups. Our canids are socialized, meaning they are raised to be very comfortable around humans. They are not domesticated. Domestication takes many generations of selective breeding. Our animals are behaviorally identical to their wild cousins except that their fear of humans has been reduced in order to provide them with stress-free lives in captivity.
