It's right down in the far corner, between the Barbary Lions and the Brown Hyaenas. They do still have the Timber Wolves, up at the top of the park to the right as enter.
Presumably these are some from the litters born at Howletts. Did you see just these two?
I shall certainly look out for them next visit. Last time I failed to see the ones at Howletts- despite repeated visits to the enclosure. Maybe the ones born there(like these two?) are better used to people?
I saw two at Howletts and four at Port Lympne. The Port Lympne ones were definitely the more showy - but they did have strength of numbers and a smaller exhibit with much more available viewing on the boundary.
They are very different looking from other European wolves. Very reddish brown with the dark markings on the forelegs. To me they seem like the European equivalent/counterpart of the North American 'Red' Wolf which is I believe is simply the more southerly form of Canis lupus. It even has the same leg markings.
