Our Wolves
Picaron
Biography
Picaron , a Ghost Ranch x McBride cross Mexican gray wolf was born on May 3, 1998 at Cheyenne Mountain Zoological
Park in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In January of 2002, Picaron came to the The Endangered Wolf Center after living at three other facilities in succession. Picaron has had a history of being a very dominant male towards other males as well as towards his mates. This made it difficult to place him appropriately with other wolves. He was transferred to the Endangered Wolf Center for behavioral and reproductive evaluation and to hopefully become a successful parent.
After evaluation, he was paired with Tanamara, a female born and raised at the Endangered Wolf Center. Tanamara proved to be the perfect match for Picaron, our largest male wolf. Since their pairing in 2003, the two have successfully produced and raised 14 pups. These pups, now adults, have since been transferred to other facilities.
