The Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center is home to many wild animals, but the wolves there steal the show. Among these wolves is Kekoa, a gentle giant who loves spending time with humans, especially with a woman named Danielle. Kekoa weighs in at 115 pounds and stands at about 7 feet tall when he places his front paws on a person’s shoulders.
Kekoa is very well-socialized and enjoys the company of people, but he is still a “wild” animal, as the center staff explains. Despite this, Kekoa and Danielle share a special bond that fascinates many, and they often play and cuddle together.
One video that caught the attention of many shows Kekoa and Danielle playing when another wolf, Sakara, comes along and asks for a cuddle. The video is a testament to the bond between Kekoa and Danielle and the natural beauty of the wolves.
The Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center organizes various educational tours and events, including Paw Day, Meet a Wolf Day, Halw-O-Ween, and more. These activities aim to teach people about the importance of wolves for the ecosystem.
Although Colorado has not been home to wild wolves since the 1940s, it looks like they will return soon. The center’s staff is dedicated to raising awareness about these incredible animals and their role in the environment, and their work is sure to pay off as more and more people learn about the beauty of wolves.
