The she-wolf has this habit of wrapping herself around the neck of her wolf because the neck is the most vulnerable part of the animal.

By doing so, she shows him her unconditional love.

For ethologists: Wolves are the most loyal and loving animals: they have only one partner throughout their life. The wolf is known to have an almost extraordinary tenderness and affection towards his she-wolf...which she knows perfectly well to return.

Dont forget to say ‘Hi’ to Sq**rt when you visit!

Sq**rt is an 11year old Murray River Long Neck with a permanent smile on his face. His favourite food is Mealworms & Crickets and he loves to sunbath on his floating dock.

Dont let his smile fool you though- he is cheeky and likes to pretend he hasnt been fed for days (his size say otherwise)!
