Meet Dharma, Wolf Park's latest non-bison addition!
She was born in 2010 at the New York State Zoo. Shortly afterwards, Dharma and three of her littermates were brought to Wolf Park in Battleground, Indiana, to be socialized. While her siblings were sent to other zoos, the park kept Dharma to add new DNA to the gene pool. At the moment, all of the Main Pack wolves share a mother (who, by an awkward accident, is the sister of four wolves' father) save for the little black yearling.
Although her coat is black, Dharma's mother is actually an Arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos). Her father, on the other hand, is a mix of various North American gray wolf subspecies nicknamed "Canis lupus soupus". Consequently, Dharma appears slimmer and lankier than her "C.l. soupus" packmates at Wolf Park.
The bison had a calf this year, which I remembered just before saying that Dharma was the park's latest addition

I can't quite tell from the photo, but..does she have a hole in her ear, or is that just something in front of her or in her fur? She's gorgeous, I'm in love with her coloration. <33
