Happy Spring! It's supposed to snow tomorrow but be in the 40's for the remainder of the week and that means "Mud Season". It also means that the Wolves will be a bit messy for a while...but that's OK. They were all in good spirit today, we even howled together to welcome the warmer weather. It always amazes me how they adapt to any kind of weather condition. Their fur and body structure are suited to handle snow, heavy rain, mud and the heat. Poor Lomasi had a muddy belly but her outer coat kept her dry. Anoki seemed a little cleaner until he rolled on his back for a belly rub and rubbed his face in sawdust. He definitely is the comedian of the pack. Tazlina's pen is still packed snow so she's not as muddy, yet.
In the next coming weeks we should see their coats start to lose the down-like fur that keeps them warm. Then we know that Spring is really here!
Have a great week!
Wolf Fact: Wolves change their coats in Spring and Autumn. The undercoat protects them from harsh weather and helps maintain a healthy body temperature.
