Gray wolves return to Menominee Park Zoo

A new four-wolf pack is roaming the 1-acre wolf exhibit at the Menominee Park Zoo.

The gray wolves — Sienna, Rebel, Echo and Thunder — came to the Menominee Park Zoo from the Wildlife Science Center near Minneapolis and have settled into their new habitat in time for the zoo's opening Saturday.

Fun fact

Wolves have about 200 million scent cells. Humans have only about 5 million. Wolves can smell other animals more than one mile (1.6 kilometers) away.

Fun fact

Wolves run on their toes, which helps them to stop and turn quickly and to prevent their paw pads from wearing down.
