If you've already experienced our Guided Tour, you're ready for the next step with our Guided Tour Level 2: Wolf Ethogram.

This tour delves deeper into the fascinating world of wolf behavior through the lens of an ethogram, a catalog of behaviors used to systematically record animal actions. At the Lupo Wolf Sanctuary, we have begun to catalog the behaviors of our ambassador wolves. In collaboration with the International Wolf Center, we classify wolf interactions into five main behavioral categories: Dominance, Food or Predation, Social, Investigatory, and Rest.

During the tour, you’ll learn how wolves communicate both verbally and non-verbally. The ethogram will help you observe and understand the subtle nuances of wolf behavior, from their body language to their interactions with each other. The public will be involved in this process by using an "ethogram" of their own, turning the experience into a fun and educational activity.

Tour Highlights:

• Dominance: Discover how wolves exhibit dominance through various behaviors, from resisting aggression to asserting control within the pack.
• Food/Predation: Learn about the different aspects of hunting and feeding, including how wolves work together as a pack to secure and defend their prey.
• Social: Observe social interactions like greetings and grooming, and understand how wolves react to one another in ways that show interest and connection.
• Investigatory: Wolves rely on their keen senses to explore their environment. Discover how they use scent, sound, and sight to detect potential prey.
• Rest: Explore the behavior of wolves during rest, sleep, and their physical positions while resting, including how they engage with pack members during these times.
