Research at Wolf Park

Research at Wolf Park is primarily behavioral, and is carried out in a noninvasive manner by carefully supervised researchers associated with accredited institutions.

CLIVE WYNNE and MONIQUE UDELL are currently Wolf Park's primary researchers. They use the Park's unique facilities and hand-raised wolves to answer questions about how dogs (and their cousins, wolves) interact socially with each other and with human caretakers -- what signals are they reading, and how are they responding? Are they sending signals of their own?

Their research has shown that when wolves and coyotes are properly socialized with humans early in development they are as attentive to human behavior and cues as pet domestic dogs.

SYLVAIN FISET is a Canadian professor at the University of Moncton who is researching how wolves understand how objects move and how they localize them, as well as the role of social cues on wolves' search behavior for disappearing objects.
