Los zoológicos son lugares impresionantes para ver y aprender acerca de muchos animales nativos y exóticos que habitan este mundo. Algunos animales viven tranquilos mientras otros son amenazados o están en peligro de extinción.

Sin los padres lobos para ayudar, los cuidadores de animales del zoológico y los veterinarios en el Alaska Zoo (Zoológico de Alaska) se aseguragon que los bebés crecieran en una manada saludable y felíz.
