Our wolf cams offer a glimpse into the lives of the Exhibit Pack at the International Wolf Center in Ely, Minnesota. Residing in a 1.25-acre habitat, the pack features two dens, a filtered pond, and a forested area for free roaming. As of 2026, the Exhibit Pack includes five ambassador wolves: Rieka (born May 23, 2021), Blackstone and Caz (born April 6, 2022), and Cedar and Rowan (born April 22, 2025).
Since 1989, managing ambassador wolves has been a core mission of the Center. The live cams enable a global audience to witness the social dynamics of these captivating animals, fostering an educational connection to their behavior. The health and safety of the wolves are critical within our USDA-licensed management plan, with dedicated care provided year-round. Our wolf care team conducts daily health checks, veterinary care, and enclosure maintenance, which may occasionally require temporarily turning off the cameras. Our wolves are most active at dawn and dusk, but you may see them active at other times of the day. If you don’t see the wolves right away, check the background under the trees; your patience will be rewarded!
Tune in to these special times for a high likelihood of wolf activity:
- Tuesday and Thursday small carcass feedings – weekly at 12pm or 4pm CT (subject to change)
- Saturday carcass feedings – weekly on Saturdays at approximately 7:20pm CT as part of our What’s For Dinner? program
