There’s a new wolf on the block at Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area.
Officials with the Woodland Nature Station have announced the new wolf is a three-year old female, currently known as #5525 to their animal ambassador family.
The arrival of the female wolf comes after the passing of Kaya, who was brought to the Nature Station in November of last year and reunited with Jasper, a former mate of hers from another nature center. Kaya and Jasper were red wolves which officials say are a critically endangered species with less than 25 individuals remaining in the wild. Friends of LBL spokesman Jennifer Wheatley told us at that time the Nature Station was proud to have been a part of their breeding and species survival program for 30 years.

Tracy Ross and John Pollpeter, lead naturalist at LBL s Woodland Nature Station, discuss box turtles.
Box turtles are common throughout the Land Between the Lakes area. The turtles have a growth pattern that s very similar to aquatic turtles, though they re mainly based on land, Pollpeter explains. They get the name box turtle because they can completely pull their entire body, head, tail, legs, and back legs into the shell and close it up behind them. The shell is kind of a dark brown with some light highlights with yellows, oranges, and lighter browns, he continues. It kind of looks like dappled sunlight through a forest floor. That s the easiest way to tell [box turtles] apart from [other turtles]. They also have a domed shell. That domed shell allows them to pull those body parts in. Most of the time, they re on land.
