Okay, I know, this is not very good photo. Still I like it - Zachary was so cute when he was drinking and lately he went to water. It was very hot and he wanted to refresh himself! :aww:

The Grey wolf called Zachariáš (Canis lupus lupus, Vlk eurasijský ) from ZOO Prague, the Czech Republic which was born on 3rd May 2007. He's son of Lobo, which is also father of my the most favourites wolves in the whole world, Carson and Dave - so they are brothers of Zachariáš :D

DID YOU KNOW THAT... the canine teeth "interlock" so the wolf can grip and hang on to struggling prey? :nod:

Love the picture, but i thought male wolves didnt drink water, only females after giving birth. Am I wrong, or is it because he's in the zoo and not wild?

mabe the difference is they're meet is not freshly killed, or there are things around the zoo forcing them to need extra water, or a combination?

I ask my friend and she told me probably they can live for long with water from their prey but when there is chance to drink, they drink... It's only speculation... :D

I've found these:

Wolves drink water and any other substance that will nourish them, unless it will make them ill.
How much water does a gray wolf drink? 8 to 10 liters a day.

But not sure if it's true :D :D

Are you able to pet them when you go there? It looks like it is just an arm's length away from you! :D

NO! In Czech ZOOs you are not able to pet animals (only when there is special "pet zoo", where are only goats, sheep, ponys and rabbits) :D Only exhibits are usualy so good made that you can see animals very well!
