A year after Anooki's birth, a new wolf was born at Courzieu Park. Her name is Tikaani, and you can already see her taking her first steps.

After the two bald eagles, the Courzieu Animal Park's baby record has been enriched with a birth. In the White Wolf Hill, Oliska, herself born in the park in 2018, gave birth to a little female a few weeks ago.

The little wolf has been named Tikaani, which means wolf in Yupik (the language of an Alaskan people). The wolf cub has already been taken to a veterinarian to be "chipped" as required by law, to receive vaccinations and deworming, and to undergo a medical checkup.

Very shy until now, Tikaani is starting to come out of the den and show the tip of her snout, not hesitating to venture into the vast enclosure with her mother and her sister Anooki, born last year. If you are observant, you may have the chance to see her. You will also be able to observe the extraordinary community lifestyle of the pack surrounding the youngest, participating in her education.

It's also an opportunity to meet the two young eagles (birds of prey), Steller's and the bald-headed, born in April and now clearly visible.

Parc de Courzieu, 1865 Route du Parc. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tel.: 04 82 29 42 56. Website: https://www.parc-de-courzieu.fr
