Sensory perceptions of wolves
Wolves are animals with amazing abilities. Their good sense of smell enables them to perceive scents that are up to 2.5 km away. Their hearing is also very well developed. You can hear a conspecific over a distance of 6 km.
Figures from the feed kitchen
The numbers from the feed kitchen are impressive: In one year the zoo animals devoured around 13 tons of beef, 10 tons of beetroot, 6,600 eggs, 1,500 kilograms of herring, 23,200 bunches of hay and 5,000 desert locusts.
