Puppies of Arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos, vlk arkticky) from ZOO Brno, Czech republic :D


Story of the photo: People, I was seriously worried this year, as ZOO usually announces birth of baby wolves at the end of April. But no news about pups have been annonced this year yet, so I started to be afraid that Atila somehow failed this year. Incredible ;D and also impossible, because when I visited the ZOO yesterday, I spotted (thanks to other people, to be honest) few small fluffy balls! :love: puppies were born and they seemed to be ok - they are tiny and so young, that they have troubles with walking! :D whole pack is so active now, running through the exhibit even in warm day or guarding the burrow, lying next to it :D
I know that quality of this image is HORRIBLE, but I have never photographerd so young wolf puppies before and their faces and poses are so adorable, so I need to share this ;) pups were some 20-30 metres from me in a dark space under the trees...

INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:

Name: Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos)
Location: Canadian Arctic and the northern parts of Greenland
Size: 1.8 m long, 79 cm high weight: 75 kg
Diet: Caribou, musk oxen, Arctic Hares, seals, ptarmigan, lemmings. Arctic wolves eat all their prey, also its bones and fur
Conservation status: common. They still live in the whole of its original range, because local conditions are too extreme for humans.
Interesting facts: mother gives birth to some 2-3 pups in May. Pups are born almost black – as they get older, colour of their fur turns to white. Adults are completely white, even in summer | arctic wolves live in the pack of some 7-10 members. Only alpha male and alpha female mate | arctic wolves have shorter ears and nose than other wolves species. They also have thicker fur, shorter legs | they do not run too fast, their advantage is persistence
