For wolves, grooming efforts are gestures of intimacy that reaffirm emotional bonds.
Ultimately, wolf families are just like ours; they play together, eat together, groom one another, and most importantly, love together.
When it comes to wolves it's all about family.
Alawa and Zephyr are captive born gray wolves at the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC), a 501c3 non-profit organization, in South Salem, NY. They are 'ambassador wolves' at the WCC that help teach the public about wolves and their vital role in the environment.
If you want to watch Zephyr, Alawa, Nikai or the WCC's critically endangered Mexican gray wolves or red wolves in live time, visit our live wolf webcams at http://www.nywolf.org/webcams. If you see something cool, let us know!
