New Maned Wolf Arrives to Join Zoo Companion

The Sedgwick County Zoo recently welcomed a new resident to its South American habitat. Caido, a 10-year-old maned wolf, has arrived and is set to become a companion for Amora. Keepers describe Caido as having a shy yet curious personality, with a fondness for exploring and chasing insects. Visitors might notice Caido by his distinctive droopy ear, which sets him apart from Amora.

While Caido and Amora have not yet been fully introduced to share their habitat, initial interactions observed through the fence have been promising. The zoo is prioritizing a gradual introduction process, allowing the animals' behavior to dictate the timeline. Both maned wolves have unique backgrounds, having been raised by humans. Amora, in particular, was raised alongside a dog after her mother passed away during childbirth.
