It's hot out! ☀ Wolves, like dogs, stay cool by panting to evaporate heat + moisture off their tongue. The elongated muzzle + shape of the inner nose make an efficient cooling system. Wolves also alter their patterns of activity, staying hunkered down during the heat of the day.

Arden Kucate, a councilman on the Pueblo of Zuni Tribal Council, discusses why we need to call for an immediate suspension of any depredation-related Mexican gray wolf removals to #SaveTheLobo. bit.ly/3BTzTEH via Santa Fe New Mexican

Dreaming of a world where no wolf is hunted 🐺

Beyond being #InternationalWolfDay, today we're revealing this cutie's official name! Meet Mexican gray wolf pup Sonda! The 3-month-old has brought joy both to his wolf family + his global one, who have witnessed his milestones via live-webcams. Join us to watch him grow! 🥰

Although wolves appear big and brawny in the winter, under their fluff, they’re actually lean and lanky. A wolf’s narrow keel-like chest, long limbs and long pliable toes support endurance-running and hunting.

As Mother Nature’s wildlife managers, wolves regulate prey populations to enable many other species of plants + animals to flourish. Initiating these trickle-down effects can improve ecosystem function + resilience. It's another good reason why the @interior should #RelistWolves

What's the worst that could happen? 😉 #InternationalDogDay

The Mexican Gray Wolf is one of 23 subspecies of gray wolf, and is one of 5 subspecies found in North America. They have special adaptations, like giant ears and tiny paws, to keep themselves cool in their native desert range. #wolf #mexicangraywolf #californiawolfcenter

Smaller than gray wolves, and a bit larger than coyotes, the red wolf is the world's most endangered canid. Only 10 are known to remain in the wild. Although red wolves are a separate species from gray wolves, both are essential, beautiful, and worth fighting for. #RedWolfWeek

Is the cloning of extinct or endangered animals ethical?

The majority of dogs are overweight or obese. And comparing the body condition of wild wolves to the average dog is like comparing the bodies of endurance athletes to sumo wrestlers. Note: long thread below but hopefully informative!

Many a debate has been had on the internet about whether a trail camera photo shows a wolf or a coyote. So we figured we would help improve “wild canine literacy” through this little exercise. Below are 9 pics of canines from our area. Which are coyotes and which are wolves?

A reminder from wolves: Love is what really matters 🐺

Lessons from wolves. Wolves know that cooperation is key, + ongoing interpack strife can result in devastating effects on the family, even deadly. So, parents teach their young how to cooperate, manage impulses, + reconcile after conflict. Don't hold a grudge. Be like a wolf 🐺

Can we understand good without evil? 🐺

Trumpet's 4-week-old Mexican gray wolf pup is a budding testimony to the vitality of life. Mirroring his mother's strength, he's not just growing, he's thriving! Join the kiddo now on Twitch: twitch.tv/wolfconservati…

The best hugs help others 🤗

Leading by example? Studies show that poaching incidence increases when agencies exercise lethal management of wolves (killing wolves). The policy signal might decrease the value of wolves for potential poachers or increase the acceptability of poaching by their associates.

Where’s the beef? Don’t ask wolves… Despite their big, bad reputation, a study found that wolves account for .009% of unintended cattle losses nationwide. More: bit.ly/2LvymvO via @HSUS Cow graphic by Sierra Club
