International Wolf Center, Minnesota Live Cam

The Retired Pack originated in 2002, for the aging 1993 litter including MacKenzie, Lakota and Lucas. Now it's time for the next generation of retirees. Malik and Shadow, arctic subspecies of the gray wolf, were born May 8, 2000. Malik was the lowest ranking male in the Exhibit Pack. He was retired in September 2009, after aggression from Grizzer, the second ranking male, became too intense for Malik's physical safety. Shadow was retired in June, 2010, as he began show to signs of aging that resulted in testing from the younger wolves.

The camera is focused on the den site, the main feature in the retirement enclosure. You may see Malik or Shadow actively running along the fence line, responding to the activities of the Exhibit Pack. The packs still communicate through howling and have a small area of fence where they can see each other, but not have direct contact.
