One of the best things about Canada is the amount of different, unique wildlife I’ve been able to see. Coming from Australia, we are used to kangaroos and dingoes, not deer and wolves. While in Vancouver earlier this week, we visited the Grouse Mountain Refuge for Endangered Wildlife and caught a glimpse of the resident grey wolves.

The three wolves located there are retirees from the movie industry. They were originally born into captivity and hand raised so they are unable to be released into the wild.

Interesting fact:
Wolves howl in order to:

• Signal the end of a hunt
• Alert others that a wolf has been separated from the pack
• Warn other wolf packs of their presence
• Have some fun making a lot of noise!
