Dreams Do Come True: A Day Trip to Wolf Park

I’m sure it will come as no surprise that Ran and I (Stephanie) are animal lovers. Of course we love dogs, but we are also fond of basically all the animals out there, including one of our dogs’ closest relatives: the wolf. So you can imagine our excitement when we met Ryan Talbot at a behavior analysis conference last year. Ryan is the Behavioral Enrichment and Training Manager at Wolf Park: a leading center for research, conservation, and education of wolves and other canid species in Battleground, Indiana. Ran and I were familiar with Wolf Park, as the animals there frequently participate in published research, and we were delighted to learn more about the work that Ryan and his colleagues do. Ryan kindly extended an invitation for us to come visit.
