These Adorable Ultra-Rare Wolf Pups Are The First Ever Born In Britain

A rare litter of Canadian wolves have been born in a British wildlife park for the first time.

Seven adorable Hudson Bay Wolf pups are now settling into their new home at the Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park in Devon.

They are the newest edition to the park which now needs to expand their enclosure following the surprise births.

The pups, born to mother Naira and Father Maska are native to northern Canada, and it is unclear how many are left in their natural habitat.

Park director Dawn Gilbert said: ‘This is a rather large litter for a first-time mum. The average litter size is four to six and not all of them generally survive.

‘It is still early days yet but the pups are making strong progress and mum Naira is carrying out her role brilliantly.’

Dawn added: ‘We always intended to allow them to have on litter because they are social pack animals that live in family groups so it is better for their welfare.

‘We weren't sure if it was going to happen this year as they are still fairly young.

‘What is more surprising is the size of the litter, so it is really imperative that we extend their existing enclosure to accommodate them all as adults.’
