Meet our Ambassador Wolves

Meet our Ambassador Wolves

Our interpretive center in Ely features expansive observation windows looking out on a 1.25-acre wolf enclosure and den site that is home for our resident ambassador wolves. Two Great Plains wolves, Grizzer and Maya, and two arctic wolves, Shadow and Malik, hunt for squirrels, pounce each other, race across a stream bed and rest-always watchful-atop their den.

   

Wolves and Humans

Werewolves and puppy dogs, spirit wolves and Canis lupus on the hunt await visitors to the award-winning Wolves and Humans exhibit designed by the Science Museum of Minnesota. The wolf in reality and fantasy has held deep meaning for humans. This hands-on exhibit shows the fascinating, age-old dance between wolves and humans and the modern conflicts that still threaten the wolf's survival.

Wolves and Wild Lands in the 21st Century

Wolves and Wildlands in the 21st Century

The Bell Museum of Natural History, in cooperation with the International Wolf Center, is pleased to offer Wolves and Wildlands in the 21st Century.

The Wolves and Wildlands in the 21st Century traveling exhibit presents wolves in a continental perspective that will deepen viewers' understanding of the wolf and the challenge of wolf-human coexistence. Although the details vary across the continent a consistent story emerges: Humans determine the future of the wolf in North America.

Currently on display at the Museum of Life + Science, Durham, North Carolina.
