OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) — The Menominee Park Zoo in Oshkosh has a new family of wolves.
The Oshkosh Northwestern Media reports the four gray wolves came to the zoo from the Wildlife Science Center near Minneapolis in October after the last of the zoo’s original three wolves was euthanized in June 2014 due to health reasons.
The 12-year-old wolves are named Sienna, Rebel, Echo and Thunder and are litter mates.
They were born to a wolf that originally lived in Yellowstone National Park, where wolves are typically larger than the ones in Wisconsin.
They have settled into their new habitat in time for the zoo’s opening Saturday.
