Arctic wolves live in the Arctic tundra, northern rolling hills, glacier valleys, ice fields, and around shallow lakes.
Arctic wolves are carnivores eating musk oxen, Arctic hares, caribou, ptarmigans, seals, and birds.
The alpha male and female of the pack breed in the winter. The gestation period lasts 61-63 days with 5 to 7 pups being born.
Found in the Arctic regions of Alaska and Canada, the Arctic wolf wild population is not at risk.
Aggy (female) was born in April 2012 and was orphaned in the Vernon area. She arrived at the Park in August 2012 as a rescued coyote. Victor (male) was born in April 2015 and was rescued from the Vancouver area when he was orphaned in May 2015.
Found in a diverse selection of habitats, including open grasslands, mixed forest and agriculture areas.
Coyotes are omnivorous, eating small rodents, birds, eggs, insects, snakes, turtles, frogs, fish, acorns, fruit and plants and some carrion when available.
Mating occurs from early February to mid-March with gestation lasting 60-63 days. The average litter size is five; however, the amount of pups in a litter is dependent upon food availability and the density of coyotes in a given area.
Found all across Canada, the coyote's wild population is not at risk.
The Park is home to two marble foxes, a colour variation of the red fox that is not found in the wild. Raven (female), and McCoy (male), both came to the Park as rescues through the SPCA and Humane Society.
Red foxes have a broad range of habitats from forests to deserts, prairie lands, and mountains, preferring mixed vegetation areas.
Omnivorous, primarily focusing on rodents, birds, and rabbits, but will also consume insects, fruits, and carrion.
Breeding season varies by location, December - January in the southern regions, February - April in the northern regions, and January - February in central regions.
