I like volunteering to work with the animals and the Keepers (both are quite exciting and entertaining). I speak several languages including chicken. In another life I teach physics, but mostly I just love to learn (anything!) and be outdoors. When not volunteering I like to watch the bears and photograph around Explore the Wild.

A "fake" sheep. Didn't you recognize it? The wolves will love it!

A young visitor sporting her wolf ears!

Some young visitors modeling their wolf ears!

A museum volunteer showing some red wolf love (and showing off her own wolf ears!)

Applying the scents to the sheep's wool. This will get the wolves attention!
