Raven has been our star education ambassador Wolf for nearly a decade. Notoriously known as the kissing wolf he has schmoozed the public by the thousands and left the message there’s no such thing as the big bad wolf. Raven’s girlfriend Cheyenne in spite of her eternal sweetness, will be seen as a not so nice wolf in her movie (oops Richard Gere’s movie) “The Flock” coming in 2007. 
Not to be up staged, while enjoying his quiet days of semi-retirement Raven took a drive up to Val Kilmer’s ranch in Pecos NM. To play the part of a “wild” wolf in a new movie called “Hunted” (it’s not about hunting wolves). After ten years of hard work, Raven is winding down. He doesn’t mind a job now and then, a school here, and a public appearance there. But for the most part he’s done working; it’s time to pass the bone so to speak.
So move over Raven, lookout Cheyenne ‘cause here comes the brat pack!
Our 5 month old Forest, found himself on channel 4 with weather man Steve Stucker, on one of his already many trips to meet, greet and teach the public. Already working that camera, go Forest! Then here comes Savannah and Storm taking the public by storm with loads of wolf kisses and happy greetings at our most recent big events Weems Artfest and Festival of the Cranes. Already these three young wolves while doing their job have met over three thousand people. Most of them up close and personal.
What’s their job?
Why to look cute, lay around, kiss lots of faces and get smooched on by me all day of course!
I wish it were that easy.
Part of our mission is to educate the public. Dispel old myth; teach about the environment and the keystone species that it depends on, like the wolf. To give people, especially our children the opportunity to see, first hand, up close and personal a live wolf.
To understand we need the wolf but they need to be free and not our pets.
Raven has worked the room like a pro for a long time. Our new kids have a hard act to follow. Raven might go out on an education outing with one of the pups from time to time, just to keep an eye on them, but his hard working days are over.
People have already begun asking about him when they meet the pups.
No worries he is doing fine.
I just had an idea!
Maybe we should have a retirement party for the old man!
Raven eating Cheyenne's face! >>>>>>>>>
