Never Cry Wolf

We took another trip to Big Run Wolf Ranch today. This time Mary was old enough to really enjoy all the animals~
John with Wilson, an adorable little groundhog~
Some of our friends from ROCK and LHE joined us~
Mahala, a sweet coyote~
While it's fascinating to just look at all the animals, John does a good job sharing facts, too. Here he's explaining why a wolf's jaw is the way it is, and how it's useful for hunting~

Mary loved the baby chicks~
It's really cool to be able to be this up close~

Showing off her teeth~
The wolves serenaded us a bit~
Kuma~
This time we didn't have anyone brave enough to feed her thin mints~
And everyones favorite, the pups~
Although, climbing on a rock is always fun, too~

I'm not sure what this it, but isn't he homely?
There really is so much to see here. It's worth the drive. And definitely worth setting up a field trip, rather than going to one of the open houses. It's a few dollars more per person, but worth every penny to avoid the hundreds of people that show up for those.
They are checking out Bloo, a Canadian lynx~
I really think the kids could have spent hours with the pups. The pups can't handle all that attention for too long though~
I can't recommend this place enough! The kids can't wait to go back next year.

I would really LOVE to go there some time! I adore animals, and so does Little Bear. Pufferfish does too, but Little BEar wants to be an animal doctor when she grows up!
