Who's New at the Zoo? Arctic Wolves
The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo is excited to introduce the newest pack in town - Arctic wolves Nuna, Anori and Inneq. The three sisters arrived in December and are settling into their new home at the Nutrien Ark.
Arctic wolves are a subspecies of grey wolf, and they have some fantastic adaptations including the ability to withstand the sub-zero temperatures and months of absolute darkness often experiences in their natural habitat.

Kinsmen Bear Exhibit
If you catch them on the right day, you may see grizzly bears Koda and Mistaya wrestling, digging or playing in their pond at the Kinsmen Bear Exhibit. The enclosure has been home to the pair since 2008. These massive mammals are a species at risk, and their home at the Zoo is thanks to the Kinsmen Club of Saskatoon.
Mistaya is the sole surviving cub from Bear 66 who died in Banff National Park in 2005. He stayed in the wild until it became clear that he could not survive without intervention. Koda was an orphaned cub from the Jasper area who was rescued and nurtured by zookeepers at the Edmonton Valley Zoo. The cubs were paired at the Calgary Zoo and later transferred to their permanent home in Saskatoon.

Our lynx can be tricky to find as they are secretive and will often hide; look for them under the tree or high in the canopy.

Our mountain goats live for their specially-made herbivore hay and, true to their species, they love to be up high so they can see all around. In the wild, mountain goats have been found at altitudes as high as 13,000 ft (3,963 m).
