Iberian Wolf development at Blackpool Zoo 01/04/12

Great news. I find the iberian wolf to be the most beautiful of all the gray wolf subspecies. (And of course their more endangered status makes them a worthwhile addition to any zoo).

It is brilliant news, Blackpool will hold a pair from Woburn (siblings born in July 2010) - Blackpool will become the fourth holder in the UK if I'm correct (Woburn, Howletts and PL being the other three).

i dont think blackpool will only be holding a pair

Can you reveal why? A member of staff [Although could be wrong] told me that they would be housing a brother and sister born in July 2010. After they arrive, settle in, etc then a search will be onto to move one of them and bring in a new partner for the remaining animal.

Blackpool should be getting a breeding pair with 2 cubs before the summer season starts. (but it all could change!)

close but still not quite right

its now been said on facebook that blackpool will be having the whole group
