A New Year - Wolf Park

W O L F P A R KThe Quarterly Newsletter ofMAYAMaya is one of the Wolf Hollow pups brought in to add newblood to our pack's gene pool. As the only black pup we kept, shewas easy for visitors to distinguish and showed promise ofgrowing up to be smart and beautiful. By fall she still had a ganglypuppy look, but unlike Erin and Tristan she did not look like ayounger pup who had been inflated to fifty pound size with a tirepump. On Maya, puppyness was pretty rather than cute or fubsy,foreshadowing the grace we expect her to display as an adult.While Seneca and Karin's daughter, Marion, was the dominantpup of the four, I tentatively put Maya at number two. Erin was stilltoo waddly to do more than have ambitions, and as for Tristan,well, he seemed unclear on the concept.Maya and the other pups thoroughly enjoyed the big TurtleLake Enclosure. They spent days exploring and getting wellacquainted with the adult wolves. When the puppies interactedwith staff and volunteers during lectures, Maya often rubbedbetween people's legs, looking up and grinning as she emergedbetween someone's knees. The audience typically gaveappreciative chuckles.Then on September 25 something happened to Maya whichmade us realize her place in the pack and perhaps her very lifewere in jeopardy. During a Howl Night the pups had settled downwith a good view of the bleachers and were doing quiet things. Ithink Maya had been mouthing a bone. A member of theaudience suddenly interrupted me to say one of the puppies waschoking. I turned around to see Maya in the throes of what looked like a grandmaltype seizure, as she lay on her side her whole body convulsed.Then suddenly Maya was on her feet, tail tucked, streamers of white foamhung from her jaws and her teeth were bared in what looked not like aMaya strikes a pose for the camera.N E W SThe North American Wildlife Park Foundation Vol. 25 No. 4 - Fall 1998Maya howling.photo by Monty Sloansubmissive grin, but a look of terror. She retreated, snapping at the wolves andthough she could use her legs she did not have normal coordination. Runningwildly she flew straight into the pond. She came right back out. I don't know ifthe shock of the water had some beneficial effect, but instead of terrifieddefensive snapping, she began appeasing every wolfand human with-in reach. The drama ended almost assuddenly as it began.We were not sure what caused the incident. We werenot even sure if it was a seizure or if she had choked ona piece of bone and panicked. The next day, Sunday,we had a visit from Dr. Caparelli, who had beenexterning with our veterinarian Dr. Harper. She hadcome out for a good-bye visit before heading home toNew York. She offered to look at Maya, and drewblood thinking it might give a clue as to what hadcaused the seizure. Dr. Caparelli also looked at somevideo footage of Maya's seizure or choking fortuitouslyshot by intern Jen Brown. Dr. Caparelli said she couldtell that it was not choking because Maya did not simplycollapse. It appeared to her to be a seizure. The bloodwork showed nothing exceptional.Worried, we continued to monitor Maya. On Monday,October 5 she had another seizure, while participants inthe Five Day Wolf Behavior seminar were getting theirfirst visit with the pack. We were lucky - a veterinarian,photo by Monty Sloan(Continued on page 6)

Just as I was sitting down to write this editorial, there was furious barking at the door by oursecurity team of Cassie and her daughter Little Bit - two pocket wolves otherwise known as longhairedChihuahuas. When I looked up there was Orca being led on a walk by Monty and Pat. Orcahad walked all the way from his enclosure at East Lake, across the bison pasture, to my houseabout quarter mile away. He was busy checking the “P-Mail” of the dogs and cats. While a bitwobbly on his hind legs, he was moving with confidence, ignoring his handicap. Considering that ayear ago he was dragging his hind legs unable to plant his feet, he has come a long way. Lookinginto Orca's eyes it was clear to us that he was not going to give up, we determined to give him allthe help we could. It was a collective effort. Overall responsibility for his rehabilitation was in thehands of Pat Goodmann, ably assisted by Monty Sloan, who also documented his condition andprogress on video tape and still pictures.For those not familiar with Orca's situation, we found him lying on his side last Novemberparalyzed from the mid-section back. We have no idea how it happened. Dr. Glaubowitz, aveterinarian and chiropractor, realigned his vertebrate column, gave him some medication toreduce any possible inflammation, and told us to keep him comfortable. Through the internet CarrieCraddock heard about Orca's plight. She offered her help as a massage therapist. She taught Patand every day he was massaged. Kept in an enclosure by himself, he improved gradually. He hadmany human visitors and members responded generously with donations to pay medical expenses.Dr. Harper, our regular veterinarian, monitored Orca's progress. His hind leg muscles had becomeatrophied through lack of use, and although Orca was willing to walk, he did not have the strength.To encourage him to use his hind legs we took him swimming. From that time on improvement wasmore noticeable as his leg muscles became stronger. If Orca had not been handraised, as all ofour wolves are, we would not have been able to help him. A non-socialized wolf afraid of people,would not have accepted the treatment he received. This is one reason why we socialize ourwolves; and it paid off for Orca.I want to thank all those who helped Orca with their dedication, time and money. It is especiallygratifying to be able to report during this Holiday Season how well Orca is doing. We all hope forhis complete recovery.Another tragedy had a happy ending. Maya, one of this year's pups, came down unexpectedlywith a neurological disorder. She had seizures, was disoriented and lacked coordination, and hadto be removed from the pack. We seriously contemplated having to euthanize her if we could nottreat her. Not really knowing what she had, and unable to take her to a neurologist for anexamination we decided to wait. Well, she not only got better, but appears to be completelyrecovered. We were concerned whether we could reintroduce her into the pack. She was sevenmonths old by now, and we had never introduced a pup that old into the pack. We introduced theother pups in a neutral enclosure to Maya, and when she got on well, we introduced the rest of thepack. She was accepted and she is now happy back in the pack.Opening hours are now limited to Howl Night each Saturday at 7:30 PM until we open again onMay 1, 1999. However, there will be two important changes for the 1999 season. First we will beclosed on Mondays. Secondly, the admission prices for non-members has changed. Admission forchildren 6-13 years of age will be $3.00 each Tuesday through Sunday and Howl Nights. Children5 years and younger will still be admitted free of charge and adult admission will remain at $4.00Tuesday through Saturday and Howl Nights, and $5.00 on Sunday for the Wolf and Bisondemonstration.The SELF-TEACHING PROGRAM in English and German should be ready soon. It will beposted on our web site. Those who attended previous wolf behavior seminars and have alreadyexpressed an interest, will be notified, and others can obtain the reading list via the website as well.Classical ethology is only rarely offered in universities any longer. Yet, behavioral analysis froman ethological and psychological point of view is very useful in understanding the evolution,causation, and motivation of behavior. People working with animals find that a knowledge ofbehavioral principles can help them to better understand their animals, train them humanely andmore efficiently, and to prevent and solve behavior problems that may occur. Questions will beanswered once a week, and the questions and answers will be distributed via e-mail to allparticipants in the program.For more information about this program,please contact me at ekltiki@dcwi.com or throughthe Wolf Park website at www.wolfpark.org2From the Director...by Erich KlinghammerWolf Park News Fall 1998enefits:•S U P P O R TWOLF PARKthrough memberships•ree admission for one year•Wolf Park News•Discounts on books from our bookstore•Two Wolf Park logo window stickersee page 8 for more detailshe Institute of Ethology offers:••olf Behavior Seminars•Four Week Ethology Practicum•Research opportunities year-round•Three month InternshipNEW DAYS AND PRICES ec. 1 - April 30:Wolf Park is open every Saturdayat 7:30 pm for Howl Night onlyMay 1 - November 30:Wolf Park is open every Tuesday to Sunday from1:00 to 5:00 pm(Closed on Mondays)and Friday & Saturday Howl Night at 7:30 pmWolf-Bison DemonstrationSunday Only: Lecture 1:00 pm followed by demonstrationolf Howl NightListen to the intriguing sounds of our wolves as theycommunicate through their howls.

A New Year - A New FaceGary Kyrouac, the former Managing Director, has left WolfPark. After several years of both volunteering and laterworking at the Park, he could no longer ignore the call of theWild West. Gary is probably most familiar as “that guy overthere in the beard and who has a pipe hanging out of hismouth.” Gary’s impact at the Park was felt in just about everyarea and a great many things were accomplished during histime at Wolf Park. East Lake was overhauled complete withterraces and trees for the older enclosures and newly createdenclosures were designed with trees and mounds, the new foxenclosure, garden and many more of the changes at the Parkover the last four or five years all have Gary’s mark on them.Gary excelled at lecturing - though he claimed to be nervousbefore each one, he always left the audience enlightened aboutwolves, if not a little sore from laughing at his jokes and dryhumor.Perhaps his greatest asset was his ability to motivatepeople. Interns, volunteers, staff, and even visitors feltmotivated to do as much as they could for the Park. Internstook on such momentous tasks as clearing away old wire tobuild the new enclosures. Volunteers and staff undertook theconstruction of the garden - the list goes on and on. It is notenough to say that Gary will be missed, but as with all the staffthat has moved on from Wolf Park, we all wish him the best ofluck. Wolf Park will just not be the same without him.Gary Kyrouacphoto by Monty SloanJohn Davisphoto by MontySloanA Word From the New Managing Director:John DavisI have been at Wolf Park for just over three months now.Like any new job, it takes a while to get into the swing of things.I have a great supporting staff, which has made the transitionvery easy and efficient.My interest in wolves started when I was about 12 years old.Thumbing through a magazine, I came across a photograph oftwo hunters posing in front of a cabin. Behind them, next tothem, hanging on the outside of the cabin were wolf skins.Hundreds of them, entire packs simply slaughtered. Even atthat age, when sympathy for predators was unheard of, Icouldn’t understand why an animal could be hated so much.That image has stayed with me for many years.As time went by, I began to sponsor wolves. Three yearsago I visited Wolf Park, from my home in Manteo, IL. I knewthen and there this would not be my last visit. To volunteer, Iwould drive 200 miles just to sell tickets, give tours, work in thegiftshop or participate in breeding season watch. Sometimes, ifmy timing was just right, I would actually have a chance to visitwith the wolves.Now that I am here, I look forward to the challenges of thejob and to meeting many of the friends of Wolf Park.Wolf Park News Fall 1998 3

Holly Jaycox DiMaio , editor of WOLF! Magazine, was able toattend the Defender’s of Wildlife Restoring the Wolf conferencein November. She would like to thank Tracy Delp (pictured atthe right) who volunteered to staff the Wolf Park table, andKristin Mitchell for all her assistance. The trip was madepossible by financial assistance from Board Members SaulLemke and Phil DePoy. Holly heard talks given by wolfresearchers and activists, and met many people involved in wolfconservation. For more information on the conference you canlook at the next issue of WOLF! Dire Wolf once again put on a spectacular show for Wolf Park.For the 6th year in a row, Randy Joe Duke gathered several areabands together including The Tone Pigs, Beth X, Bryan Hodge,The Weeds of Eden and Dan Welling. Zanies Too ofIndianapolis hosted the show and all proceeds, including raffleand cover charge went to Wolf Park. This was the mostsuccessful event yet, raising over $1400 for Wolf Park. WolfPark applauds Dire Wolf! As humans strive to live longer and healthier lives, we try to dothe same for our four-footed companions. Over the past severalyears, Wolf Park has received a generous donation from Dr.Stansfield of Ciba-Geigy Corporation, maker of Interceptor.Dr. Stansfield has made it possible for Wolf Park to have enoughof the heartworm preventive for each and every one of theanimals year round.As the animals age, as with humans, they can use a little helpgetting up and around. To assist the wolves in aging asgracefully as possible, many of the wolves, a gracefully agingcoyote and one little silver colored fox, have been put on asupplement of glucosamine - trade name Cosequin byNutramax. Thanks to Dr. Henderson and Nutramax, Wolf Parkhas a supply of Cosequin to see us well into the new year.Medical supplies are not the only donations big businesses havemade to Wolf Park. Several corporations have matchingdonation programs for their employees.Wolf Park has also been testing the waters of grant writing in thepast year, and the efforts have been rewarded by such generouscorporations as ALCOA and Gannett, each granting Wolf Parkmoney to improve the seating accommodations.The following people have very generously donated to Wolf Park money,supplies, treats, equipment or donated in the name or memory of a loved one.BRIAN BAILEYDAISY BARNESJANET BEASLEYRONALD AND JACKIE BECKVICKI BOYERSARAH BUDNIKTERRY BUMGARDNERROSEMARY CORTEZF.

(Continued from page 1 - Maya)Dr. Elizabeth Clohecy was in the seminar and she drew blood right after theseizure. Dr. Klinghammer took it in to Dr. Harper's clinic for lab tests to beperformed again. We hoped that this sample taken so soon after the seizure,might show something definitive. Once again the results were unremarkable.This second time Maya did not seem as terrified, and she was cooperativeabout having her blood drawn. Afterward she acted very tired and just wantedto rest.We looked for Maya repeatedly during the day. A couple of times we foundher in what may have been the aftermath of a seizure - foamy, apprehensive,withdrawn, and somewhat uncoordinated. We took her out of the pack onOctober 15)and put her in a holding pen at East Lake. Her motor coordinationdeteriorated and she oftencrossed her paws and stumbledover grass clumps. She alsobegan to display a variety of ticseven if she was not having fullblown seizures: Her facialmuscles would appear to spasm,she tossed her head upward,yawned abnormally often,snapped at phantom insects,and though she maintained agood appetite, she oftenseemed unable to feel meatprecisely enough to keep fromdropping large gobs of NebraskaBrand as she chewed. Hersocial behavior deteriorated aswell. If she approached at all,she showed intense approachavoidance conflict, andpermitted little if any touching.For a few days after her removalfrom the pack she also flinched ifwe tried to touch the top of herhead, as if touch there werepainful. This was on a goodday.On a bad day she seemed abnormally sensitive to loud sounds - I saw herears virtually flutter, not just twitch, when a neighbor let off a volley of gunshots.She also reared and flinched as if shocked when tall grass stems brushed herfur.Typically the intensity of her bad spells would gradually decrease and herbehavior become normal or nearly so - but after a setback she was notimmediately ready to be handled or accept restraint. It was as if she wassuffering psychologically, as well as physically. The experience must havebeen frightening as well as painful.On her good days we tried to overcome her fear with play sessions andsocial grooming. Sometimes we brought her brother, Tristan, in to visit her.Tristan was the least likely of the pups to harass her and we hoped his visitswould build her confidence. At worst, we didn't have to worry much about themfighting. "It's like putting two roly-polys together in a jar." remarked Monty.Working under these conditions was especially frustrating and discouraging forme because we did not know for sure how long our window of opportunity togive Maya positive experiences would last or if play-time with us or Tristanmight be suddenly paired with a seizure, or the onset of other painful orfrightening symptomsAfter Maya's removal from the pack, puppy mother Jutta Schulke spentmuch of her remaining time at the park monitoring Maya. She also shot footageof Maya, documenting her symptoms, and we sent the footage to Dr. Speiser, aveterinarian with neurological experience. He was sure he could rule outepilepsy - by mid October she was showing signs of impairment that lasteddays beyond any seizures. The array of possibilities was daunting - from wateron the brain to degeneration of the myelin sheathing of Maya's nerves, andunnerving possibilities in between.We discussed euthanasia - the prospect for controlling Maya's symptoms didnot seem good and though we might reduce their severity for a while it did notseem likely that she would have a good life or, indeed, a long one. We even setMaya explores the new landscape after the first snowfall of the year.a date for the deed - the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Monday, the daybefore, was a day of halcyon weather. Maya had several good days in a rowand Amanda and I took Tristan in for a final play-time with Maya. She enjoyed itand was very out going with us and the interns as well as with Tristan."Sometimes I hate my job." said Amanda to me, as a grinning Maya wriggledtowards us, rubbing like a big cat and greeting exuberantly. The sun set in abeautiful red sky. We took Tristan back to the bosom of his family where hewas immediately tripped up and extensively munched by his siblings.On Tuesday morning Dr. Klinghammer and Peggy Marsico went out to takea last look at Maya and say good bye. You could say Maya pled eloquently forher life. She greeted me hesitantly and then visibly warmed to the idea ofcompany. When Dr. Klinghammer and Peggy came in, Maya gave a him anexuberant greeting, almost climbing inhis lap, rubbing, bouncing up to lick,rolling over and presenting a blackfurry tummy to rub. She was sohappy to have visitors. Peggy andthe interns were greeted. Maya shotaround the pen like a well coordinatedbottle rocket. Though she trippedonce it seemed with in the bounds ofnormal puppy clumsiness, not theimpaired gaits she had shown duringher last bad spell. Also she did nottrip at the same spot the next fewtimes she rocketed around the pen.Dr. Klinghammer reversed thedecision to euthanize her and said wewould continue to monitor her. As ofDecember 8 her symptoms havedecreased, if not steadily, at least withno serious set backs, for a month -the longest period of progress sinceher first seizure. On December 9 wetried moving her temporarily to a largeenclosure so we could bring in otherphoto by Monty Sloanwolves than just Tristan. It went sowell, meeting Erin and Marion, Karinand Miska, that we fenced off the corridor, opened the gates and let the packcirculate freely. This went so well that we simply coaxed all the wolves,including Maya back into the Turtle Lake Enclosure. Next morning there werefive adults and four very happy puppies in the enclosure.At this point we cannot say what Maya's future is or how long it will last. Butfor the moment she is happy, accepted by her pack and able to enjoy a normallife.We would like to thank the following veterinarians who saw Maya, footage ofher symptoms, or just let us pick their brains on her behalf:Dr. Cheri CaparelliDr. Elizabeth ClohecyDr. James SpeiserDr. Chris AlbertIndianapolis Veterinary Emergency CenterIndianapolis, In.Dr. Noreen GlabowiczHorizon Veterinary ServiceDelphi, In.Dr. Mary RobinsonPaw Prints/PetsburghLafayette, In.Dr. David MartinPurdue University, InDr. David HarperAnimal Medical Clinic6Wolf Park News Fall 1998
