More about Vivilette
Vivilette is one of the newest animals to see at Brookfield Zoo, arriving with her parents Sibi and Lazarus in late 2020 from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge in Socorro, New Mexico. Born in 2019, Vivilette can be identified by a missing front limb, the result of an injury she received as a puppy. The cause of the injury is unknown, but young wolves often jump and play hard and front leg injuries are not uncommon for both wolves and dogs. Vivilette has fully recovered and is a healthy wolf -she does not let her limb deficiency slow her down. She can stay with her mother for at least another full year, and will hopefully have the chance to help raise Sibi's next litter. Vivilette is shy and cautious, as is the nature of Mexican wolves. She respects her place in the pack and looks to her mother for guidance. She is curious and explores every corner of her habitat. Staff are still getting to know Vivilette's personality and they are excited to have her here at Brookfield Zoo!
