Mai is now in her fifth year and has grown into an impressive adult wolf. She is sleek and majestic but with the grey in her coat looks older than her years. Mai used to live with her sister Mosi but last year she was seperated from her after rising tensions between the two wolves.
She now lives with Motomo (who came to us as a companion for Mai) and they both get on well with each other. Mai remains a wolf who enjoys being around people and she still goes on walks with our handlers.
In May 2011 Mai gave birth to four cubs, one of whom was stillborn. The other three are Nuka, Tala and Tundra and all are doing well.
