I paid for a tour of the Endangered Wolf Center on my 'Snowleopard's 2014 Road Trip' thread and it was a pleasant opportunity to view Mexican Grey Wolves, Red Wolves, African Wild Dogs, Maned Wolves and Swift Foxes in spacious enclosures.

Here is the facility's website:

While reading a book called Billy Connolly's Route 66, where the famous Scottish stand-up comedian/actor travels via motorbike across America, I was surprised to learn that Connolly visited the establishment. He actually devotes almost 7 pages to his visit and describes how he helped haul a carcass into one of the exhibits. He particularly liked the African Wild Dogs, calling them "f*#&ing great" due to the fact that they are "hugely social animals".
