Wolves are caring. Wolves are cooperative. Be like a wolf

For wolves, grooming helps strengthen family bonds. When Ambassador wolf Alawa licks and nibbles Nikai, not only is Alawa keeping her brother's fur clean and free of debris, her grooming efforts are gestures of intimacy that reaffirm the unique emotional bonds that shape the foundation of the family. Because when it comes to wolves, it's all about family. Alawa and Nikai are captive-born gray wolves at the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC), a 501c3 non-profit organization, in South Salem, NY. The siblings are two of the three 'ambassador wolves' at the WCC that help teach the public about wolves and their vital role in the environment.
