The wolves are having fun in the snow

At the moment there is mating season for the wolves and they are all very active. I did my masters last year about wolf play behaviour and now I am back to analyze my data and visit the wolves. I enjoy the time here, especially observing them playing.

For the first time, I saw the dog puppies Uzima, Alika, Maischa, Rafiki and Kilio. The pups are very cute, intelligent and very playful. They are between 7 to 9 weeks old and are taken care of 24 hours a day.
