More about Nikan: Nikan arrived at our Zoo as a pup in 1999, along with his four siblings. Primarily due to old-age health issues, his siblings have passed away. At 16 ½-years-old, Nikan still enjoys a good quality of life, and takes part in daily training sessions with his keepers.
Each year, National Wolf Awareness Week takes place the third week of October. This year’s week, October 19-25, 2015, encourages conservation efforts not just for wolves, but also for all wild species. For more information on what you can do to preserve wolves and their habitats, visit the Defenders of Wildlife website.
