[2020·°²»ÕµÚÒ»´ÎÖÊÁ¿¼ì²â]Created by Casey and Shelley Black, the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre focuses on not only rescuing young abandoned wolves but educating the public. Unlike other centres, you can actually walk with the wolves and have exciting, hands­on interaction with them here. And so, we gathered on late winter morning to learn, prepare and walk.

Scrappy and Flora, our wolves that day, were brought to the centre when only a few days old. “They lived in the house with us for the first several months. We treated them like human babies, fed them and slept with them£¬” said Shelley. So, they are totally used to people. However, these are wild animals. For that reason, Shelley and Casey explained, the walk is totally on the wolf's terms. “We don't approach them, but if they come up to us, we can touch them.”

With all this in mind, we headed for the woods. We were walking on a logging road when suddenly, Flora, all 60 pounds of her, hurried up to me and raised up on her legs. She was almost as tall as me. As she leaned in, put her huge muddy paws on my shoulders and sniffed my face, apparently she was saying hello in wolf talk.

We walked farther, maybe half a mile, while Scrappy and Flora dashed in and out of the woods stopping to occasionally roll in the snow, dig for this or that and just play. Then we all headed into the trees to a picturesque (ÃÀÀöµÄ) stream where the wolves splashed, drank and had a great time.

One could point out that this whole adventure was staged (³ï»®) and quite artificial. But the purpose, Casey and Shelley said, is to explain the wolves' place in the environment and, primarily, to let people know wolves don't have to be universally feared — they really don't hide secretly in the woods just waiting to eat people, but they'd rather avoid people, for the most part.
