Center hand-raise six lively grey timber wolf

pups. Pack dynamics are evident as the pups

acting as surrogate mothers, and the alpha

female who will lead their pack.

Rescued from Internet auction by the

Minnesota Wildlife Science Center, Charlie

the bear cub learns to live in the wild.

Caretakers distance themselves from the

cuddly ball of fluff to allow him to follow

his natural instinctto hibernate.

GROWING UP MOOSE
