Wolf Centre
The Wolf Centre opened in 1996 and is currently home to a pack of five Timber Wolves (Canis lupus). Within the 61,000-square-metre (656,600 sq ft) enclosure (one of the largest in the world), they roam freely, living as 'natural' a life as possible. Fed on a random schedule (approximately once a week), they can often be found hanging out near the viewing area. As this is close to both the highest point in the enclosure and the water source, they are often nearby.
In 1996, Patricia Wyman, a new employee at the facility, was killed by four of its wolves.

“A daze had come over his mind, he had another centre of consciousness. In his breast, or in his bowels, somewhere in his body, there had started another activity.”
