Since the beginning the main focus of our work in the Lobo Park has been the research of the social behaviour. This area has been treated either with very little attention or to a certain extent very amateurish. The fact is that it is very difficult to observe wolves in the wild over time leads to the consequence that most studies on wolves and their behaviourism are done with wolves in captivity. The way wolves have been and are still being kept in captivity de-socializes the animal to a great extent. All well known ethologist went too far in the way they keep the animals and „domesticated“ them more than it would have been good for research and for the animals.
The „domesticated“ wolf shows his natural behaviour only very fragmented, wherefore it is completely absurd to even study these animals. This is similar to doing research on patients in a closed department of a psychiatric institution. The obtained findings are hardly useful for a transfer to the whole of humanity.
The wolves in Lobo Park are to a great extent being hand reared to take away the innate shyness of people. However we never interfere in their natural behaviour. The enclosures are very spacious (25.000m² - 35.000m² each) to ensure enough privacy for them. The animals’ show no stress behaviour and no human will interfere falsely or be dominant to these animals.
enables us since years to very interesting insights and findings on the real social behaviour of these wonderful animals.Above all this we are the only privately hold park mentioned in the International Guide "DESTINATION WILDLIFE" of Pamela k. Brodowsky in cooperation with the "NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION".
Since several years we allow scientists biologists, zoologists and ethologist to optimize their research in our park.
