How to Love and Play Like Wolves

Wolf greeting behavior involves tail-wagging, muzzle licking, nose tapping, tail tucking, and varied vocalizations - gestures of intimacy and enthusiasm that reaffirm the unique emotional bonds that shape the foundation of the family. Alawa and Nikai are captive-born gray wolves at the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC), a 501c3 non-profit organization, in South Salem, NY. They help teach the public about wolves and their vital role in the environment.
