Wolf
Canis lupus occidentalis
The largest member of the dog family in the world
An adult weighs about 40 kg; males are slightly larger than females. They live in packs led by a male and a female, and the other pack members are usually their offspring. They communicate through very expressive facial expressions, body posture (especially the tail) and vocalisations. Their howling is well known: through it, pack members reinforce the bonds between them and signal to other wolves that the territory is occupied. In the forest, a wolf's howl can be heard up to 9.6 km away.

Birthday Celebration
You can celebrate a birthday at ZOO Ljubljana. During the celebration we experience smaller domesticated animals, with a focus on insects. We also visit the more charismatic larger animals in their enclosures and learn many interesting things about them. The celebrations are educational and fun, suitable for children and adults alike.
