Some of you may remember the Wolf Howl we attended at the Western NC Nature Center at the beginning of November. It was so wonderful. We learned about the difference between the red wolf, the gray wolf and the coyote. They had wolf pelts there for us to feel, a skull, something in a jar. (eek!) Then after a cool lecture, slide show and talk we ventured outside to see some real live wolves! We never got to see the red wolf but did get to see the grey wolf. They are huge. The Nature Center has one older female and two younger gray wolves. They would howl back at us as we raised our voices to the moon. Really cool!!! We learned that the gray wolf has the deepest howl, the red wolf a medium pitched howl and the coyote has a shrill high pitched howl.
Then we got to see a cougar. Purely by accident, I might add.
If you are ever in the mountains of NC….the Asheville area, the Western NC Nature Center is worth the trip!!

One of our slides. Can you believe how few red wolves there are???
Just saying happy turkey day to all my friends 🙂

I am TOTALLY appalled at myself. I was reading through some of my old posts and comments looking for something today, when I saw that A YEAR AGO you left a comment on my blog and asked me about vacation information in North Captiva, FL. I have no recollection of giving that to you, and although I have no recollection of a lot of things I do, I really feel pretty sure that I didn't do that. I don't know what happened, or how I missed it, but I do apologize. If, by any chance, you still want that information, just let me know, and I will find it for you.
The nature center sounds really cool.
