Hi I went to adelaide zoo in 1990 does anybody know the history of adelaide zoo displaying arctic wolves.
 
I've got some information for you. The zoo had Arctic wolves from 1981-1992. In that time they had 16 wolves, with the last one dying in 1992 (but 3 were sent to Wellington Zoo at that time). They were exhibited near where the sealions are now, around where the African wild dogs are.
 
Thanks Electus parrot,
I have seen one at taronga when i was a kid & was thrilled to see a group of them while in adelaide in the early 90,s A rare item in australia thanks again.
 
Glad I could help. Unfortunately I was not born at the time the wolves were here, but I have seen some photos of the ones at Adelaide. Unfortunately I missed out on seeing many rare species in Australia, that would have been wonderful to see, but I do remember seeing the last capybara at Adelaide, which I will always remember.
