Get Unobstructed Views of Wolves and Their Fascinating Pack Dynamics!

The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center is home to several gray wolves that were born in captivity and are unable to live in the wild. When their previous facilities no longer had space to accommodate them, the GWDC provided them with a permanent home. Here, the wolves offer visitors an up-close look at their normally secretive lives.

The wolves’ habitat is designed to encourage natural behaviors and provide a comfortable, stimulating environment. Tall grasses, trees, logs and a pond with a waterfall create a diverse landscape for the wolves to explore. Throughout the day, animal keepers provide enrichment by hiding bones, introducing scents and creating new opportunities for the wolves to investigate their surroundings. During the summer months, live trout are added to the pond, giving the wolves another opportunity to engage their natural curiosity and hunting instincts. They also receive a natural, species-appropriate diet that includes elk and deer meat, hides and bones - much of which is generously provided by local hunters and meat processors.

By watching these wolves explore and respond to their environment, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of their pack dynamics, intelligence and the way they communicate.
