Colorado Wolves

Another spot we went to was the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center. Here they shelter wolves and educate the public on how endangered they are.




This one was starring at our tour guides bag of hot dog treats. They are very low on meat at the shelter and rely mostly on donations.  One cool thing is that they will give the wolves road kill that they find. Any bacteria in the dead animal is never passed on into the wolves so they can eat it safely. 





This isn't the best photo but I threw it in because it's a Mexican Grey Wolf. This little guy is extremely endangered with only about 50 of them left in the wild. Most likely this breed will die out in the near future. The federal government requires this sanctuary to house him and keep him in his own cage for protection but doesn't provide any financial support. Kinda shitty.





While on our tour this ladies kid wouldn't shut up. She decided to separate him from the group and allow him to walk around, parading him back and forth along the trail. Well, the wolves saw this small moving morsel and started to go crazy! People are so stupid!! Our tour guide had to ask the women to pick up the child because he was "exciting" the wolves......

"Give me your baby!" 

At the end of the tour, our tour guide let out a big howl and encouraged us to do the same. All the wolves in the park started howling! It sounded amazing!! Unfortunately once again due to loud children......I couldn't get a good recording of the sound. I think I have an idea on how to fix their meat shortage......
