Elusive Wolves Breed at Paignton Paignton Zoo
 
imagePaignton Zoo's elusive South American maned wolves are rearing a litter of three pups.
Curator of Mammals Neil Bemment said: "The maned wolves may be rarely seen by the public but are no less important for that. There should be a much better chance of seeing one when the pups become more mobile!”
The pups are believed to have been born around 9th December. Keeping staff have let the parents, female Maya male Smolis, get on with the job of rearing the pups.
Volunteer photographer Ray Wiltshire recently managed to snap a few rare shots of pup.
The last litter was born in December 2006, when four pups were reared. Both adults are eight years old. Male Smolis came from Gdansk Zoo, Poland and female Maya from Berlin Tierpark, Germany. They came to Paignton Zoo in June 2005.
