International Maned Wolf Day

Maned wolves are one of the most unique and fascinating canids in the world. Known for their long legs, reddish fur, and large, bat-like ears, these elusive creatures are often misunderstood. Native to South America, maned wolves play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of their ecosystems. Unfortunately, they are facing threats from habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict.

Join us on October 5th as we Celebrate International Maned Wolf Day to learn more about these incredible animals and the efforts being made to protect them.

Did you know that maned wolves are not actually wolves at all, but are closely related to foxes and jackals? Or that they have a distinctive, musky odor that helps them communicate with each other? Come discover these fascinating facts and more through special keeper talks, interactive activities, and the chance to observe our own maned wolves up close.

All activities are included with regular admission—don’t miss the opportunity to celebrate these mysterious creatures and learn how you can support conservation efforts!
