My First Wolf Kiss at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The wolf kisses weren’t really kisses.\u00a0 Although they were super sweet, they could better be described as a very, very large puppy kissing and licking my face.\u00a0 Well, not really.\u00a0 Not so much a puppy, really more like a very large dog.\u00a0 And not exactly licking my face,\u00a0 but more like a very large, but very gentle, dog gnawing along my jaw with their very large wolf puppy teeth.\u00a0 I was a little nervous at first – I mean, it was my first kiss!\u00a0 But after the initial shock of a gray Timberwolf playfully licking and chewing along my jaw I relaxed and felt the joy a puppy brings.\u00a0 Seriously, what is better than those adorable balls of fluff jumping, playing and kissing you?\u00a0 The Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center\u00a0can make it happen!<\/p>\n

Your Wolf Kisses are on my List<\/h2>\n

These wolf kisses have been on my list for a long time.\u00a0 My daughter, Jayci, first heard about the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center<\/a> about 3 or 4 years ago.\u00a0 She has always had a soft spot for wolves and is just crazy about animals.\u00a0 At the time she was under 18 and too young to interact with the wolves one on one.\u00a0 So, we kept the idea in the back of our minds.\u00a0 Jayci turned 18 this past July.\u00a0 Lucky for us we traveled to Denver, Colorado around Christmas and built some extra time into our ski trip to take the drive south to Divide.\u00a0 It’s about a 2 hour ride south of Denver.\u00a0 (Colorado Springs airport is closer and just over 1\/2 hour from CWWC if you are looking for a more direct route.)\u00a0 The town of Divide sits on the north slope of Pikes Peak with the CWWC sitting above 9,000 feet.\u00a0 It is cold up there in winter!\u00a0 Brrr!\u00a0 But wolves don’t need to worry about the weather, they have hollow hair shafts which trap air and act as insulation –\u00a0 a fact we learned during our educational tour.<\/p>\n

\"wolf-kisses-wolf-sitting-on-rock\"<\/p>\n

The Howl of the Wolves<\/h2>\n

When we arrived we were greeted by the sound of the wolves howling!\u00a0 How awesome is that?\u00a0 Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center is home to numerous wolves, foxes and coyotes – whom they call their “pack.”\u00a0 Their mission is conservation, education and preservation of these animals and the forest, land and water that supports them.\u00a0 They have a fairly large site with a few buildings and many fenced areas for the wildlife.\u00a0 We checked in at the main building and met a few of the staff who were very professional and helpful and so happy to welcome visitors.\u00a0 First we joined an educational tour with about 15 other people.\u00a0 We walked around the property viewing the animals in different penned areas.\u00a0 All the wolves have different personalities and they all have a story.\u00a0 Some have been rescued, one saved from a guaranteed hunt farm, a few have come from other wolf facilities, and there is even a wolf from a backyard breeder.<\/p>\n

\"wolf-kisses-wolf-face\"<\/p>\n

Living on the Edge of Extinction<\/h2>\n

We learned so much about the importance of the wolves in the ecosystem and their place and importance in the food chain.\u00a0 When you remove one piece (the wolf) of that chain it’s not as strong as it can be.\u00a0 If you have the chance, read about the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park and how ecosystems rebounded and rivers actually changed their courses.\u00a0 You can read about it here:\u00a0 Wolf Reintroduction Changes Ecosystem<\/a>.\u00a0 I think this story is amazing and I am in awe of nature!\u00a0 But not everyone thinks wolves have a place in our world.\u00a0 Many ranchers are not happy about the reintroduction and many wolves have been shot and killed.\u00a0 It is a constant battle for their survival.\u00a0 The biologists and professional staff at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center do not gloss over the facts of the inhumane fur industry, canned hunts and other abusive situations.\u00a0 If you have young children please be aware that details can be graphic.<\/p>\n

Meet and Greet:\u00a0 Orenda and Chakra<\/h2>\n

Adult males grow to 2 1\/2 – 3 feet tall at the shoulder, females a little smaller and typically weigh 80-150 pounds.\u00a0 And we got to see two wolf pups up close and personal!\u00a0 Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center operates safety standards for the guests AND for the wolves.\u00a0 The bottom of our shoes were wiped with bleach so as not to bring any bacteria inside the pens.\u00a0 And a series of doors is used to keep the wolves safe behind their fences.\u00a0 We were told not to bring anything into the pens with us, not even a phone in our pockets.\u00a0 The wolves are notorious thieves and love to take souvenirs.\u00a0 Lol!\u00a0 Honestly, I was a little nervous.\u00a0 These wolves are big!\u00a0 Nevertheless, Jayci and I were super excited and ready to meet our new friends!\u00a0 We met Orenda, an 8 month old female pup with the typical markings of a gray Timberwolf and Chakra, a 9 month old all black female.\u00a0 Orenda was very friendly, playful and inquisitive.\u00a0 She came right up to us and got super close.\u00a0 And seriously, she gently gnawed on my jaw and licked my face!\u00a0 That’s what you call a wolf kiss!\u00a0 Jayci got the treatment too.\u00a0 As you can see from the pictures she was loving it!\u00a0 Orenda effortlessly jumped onto the rock we sat on and came up over our shoulders to see what was going on, resting her very large, super furry wolf head on our shoulders.\u00a0 It was so sweet.<\/p>\n

\"wolf-kisses-wolf-eating-from-hand\"<\/p>\n

A wolf can bite with force of 400 to 1,200\u00a0 pounds of pressure.\u00a0 Yikes!\u00a0 That fact was not lost on me as I sat next to this magnificent beast gnawing on my face.\u00a0 The wolves’ size and power is incredible.\u00a0 As I sat there in awe and maybe a little bit of fear, she laid down on the snowy ground and just wanted to be petted.\u00a0 Orenda particularly liked getting her ears rubbed.\u00a0 Chakra was very cautious and didn’t want to participate much.\u00a0 She sort of hung around the fringes just checking us out.\u00a0 She didn’t feel like approaching us and those feelings were respected.\u00a0 Many of the young wolves are evaluated for their ability to act as ambassadors for the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center.\u00a0 They undergo lots of training before they are put into new situations.\u00a0 When a person gets to meet a wolf up close and personal it opens up so many opportunities for CWWC to paint the wolf in it’s proper light and hopefully change some minds.\u00a0 Education is their number one tool.\u00a0 And Orenda is an awesome teacher.\u00a0 Our time with her was fun, exciting and eye opening.\u00a0 We learned so much in our time with her and her friends.<\/p>\n

Rhett & Scarlett – Not Quite Wolves<\/h2>\n

\"wolf-kisses-red-fox\"\"wolf-kisses-fox-treats\"<\/h2>\n

Our time at the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center didn’t end there.\u00a0 Jackson, my 14 year old son, and my husband, Joe, had an interaction with Rhett and Scarlett, two red foxes.\u00a0 Jackson was not old enough for the wolf interaction, but you only need to be 8 years old to meet the foxes.\u00a0\u00a0These foxes were so adorable – jumping on Jackson and Joe’s backs and just hanging out up there!\u00a0 Always looking for the next treat.\u00a0 They were very inquisitive and playful.\u00a0 It was great to see how the boys and the foxes enjoyed their time together.\u00a0 Earlier , on our educational tour we learned more about the fox’s plight in the fur industry.\u00a0 It is so sad how these foxes suffer.\u00a0 Come on people – wear fake fur!<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

A few things to keep in mind when you are visiting Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center —<\/h3>\n

First of all, you need to go there!\u00a0 It is an awesome experience you will not forget!<\/p>\n

Reservations are required for all of the tours and interactions.\u00a0 Call or email in advance to secure your spot.<\/p>\n

Try to make an early morning reservation.\u00a0 Animals tend to be more active in the morning.\u00a0 Scarlett and Rhett, the red foxes, displayed awesome fun behaviors at our early morning appointment.<\/p>\n

If you visit in winter, dress warmly.\u00a0 I recommend insulated ski pants and snow or winter boots.\u00a0 I was pretty cold in my jeans.\u00a0 And no fake fur on any of your jackets or boots – the wolves become too interested in what that might be – you want their attention on you.<\/p>\n

Warm up with a cup of hot chocolate in the main building after your tour and buy a souvenir.<\/p>\n

Bathrooms are located in a non-heated out building – and, um, it’s not really a bathroom, just a pit toilet.\u00a0 Trust me, you will be fine.<\/p>\n

Grab lunch down the mountain in Woodland Park, CO.\u00a0 (It’s on the road towards Colorado Springs.)\u00a0 We enjoyed pizza at AJ’s Stone Oven American Pizzeria.\u00a0 Super casual – you just order up front and they bring your food out to you.\u00a0 Lot’s of different options for pizza, even gluten free for me!\u00a0 And it was all yummy!<\/p>\n
