TOURS AND ADMISSION
WOLF PARK | GREATER LAFAYETTE
Wolf Park is an education, conservation, and research facility located in Battle Ground, Indiana. Since 1972, we have studied wolves and other wild canids to learn more about their behavior and assist researchers in the wild. Each year, we teach thousands of visitors about the importance of predators in the ecosystem. We assist researchers around the world with studies of subjects including cognition, behavior, and comparative studies between wild and captive animals.
OURSPONSORS

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay! How appropriate to also fall on #WolfWednesday. As we celebrate, we refer to both our vision of 'Save Wolves, Save Wilderness' and non-profit mission. Through education, conservation, and behavioral research, we aim to help build better connections to the species we share this planet with.
With this in mind, we would like to share another report from the west coast as a wolf has made his way from Oregon to California. This single male has been found east of Yosemite National Park making him the only collared wolf to reach this far south into the state.
Many are calling him a "beacon of hope" as scientists have reported this habitat will be highly suitable for wolves meaning it may provide insight as to what a healthy population of wolves can accomplish with legal protections.
This individual is only one of 16 recorded in the state since the eradication of wolves in 1920s California and possibly the first to reach Yosemite in 100 years! We hope to have more exciting news to share on this story by next World Wildlife Day.

Sunday, February 28th was our founder, Dr. Erich Klinghammer's, 91st Birthday. Although no longer with us, Dr. Klinghammer's vision for Wolf Park carries on. Our overall vision of Save Wolves, Save Wilderness is realized a little more each day as we dedicate ourselves to conservation, education, and behavioral research.
Since 1972, nearly 50 years later, we have continued educating the public on many things including coexistence with species such as bison, foxes, coyotes, and wolves. Through Dr. Klinghammer's work, many have been inspired generation after generation and we will continue to carry on his legacy.

Joker Update #4:
Recently Joker’s vet team did a visual examination of him along with his regular blood work. Not only was Joker a perfectly behaved fox throughout the exam, but the results were really exciting.
He is continuing to respond well to treatment and so far everything looks good! His treatments are scheduled to go through the middle of April, so this is a good place to be. While everyone at Wolf Park is taking a moment to breathe and enjoy the news, Joker is being a fox and spending his time watching wolves, playing with Scarlette, and sleeping in the sun (when it comes out).
We are continually inspired by the support we are receiving from our followers and fans. Everyone is so generous; your creativity is fantastic! Thank you so very much and keep watching for more photos and updates! #MontySloanPhotography #JokerTheFox
Wildcat Creek Wildlife Center is a state and federally licensed rehabilitation center with the goal to protect and conserve the wildlife and ecosystem of Indiana through rehabilitation, public education, networking, and providing an educational volunteer experience.
Under this mission, Wildcat Creek Wildlife Center annually rehabilitates hundreds of coyotes and foxes with mange. With the generosity we have seen from support for our red fox Joker's medical care, we have been inspired to pay it forward and spread the love further this Valentine's Day. Wolf Park will be donating enough funds to support the rehab of 6, possibly more, coyotes and foxes this year.
There are ways you too can help with this problem. The center is asking people to utilize snap traps instead of rodenticides when dealing with rodent problems as many mange cases can be traced back to the usage of rodenticides.
If you are interested in making a donation to Wildcat Creek Wildlife Center, please visit their website and donate through the PayPal link there: http://wildcatwildlifecenter.org/ or mail a donation to them at 4709 N. 400 W. Delphi, IN 46923

INFORMATIVE AND FUN GUIDED WALKING TOURS IN WOLF PARK
I went to Wolf Park with a group of 32 and the staff was very friendly with accommodating us. It is a great place for group or family visits, try to go for the whole 3 hours on the days they have events going on. There are many wolves, foxes, and bison that you can see.

This is a wonderful alternative to animal watching. The park's involvement with wolves is to be admired. Personnel are knowledgeable and the wolves are so very special. Our grandchildren love this place. The night programs are especially fun!

Great experience to bring the family to. The guide was super knowledgeable and made the whole experience allot of fun. We got to give ice treats to the pups and everyone had a good experience and learned about wolves and foxes.

A group of us visited in the afternoon for the tour, then came back in the evening for the howl. Highly recommend doing both, as the information and experiences are different and both are amazing. The social behavior of the wolves is complicated and deserves the study this facility is doing. The social attitude of people towards wolves (usually negative) would change if they understood all the wolves contribute to the ecosystem.
