Muki, Female
Species Status
On the verge. With questions as to how many actually exist in the wild, wolverines are on the verge of being placed on the list of species at risk.
Tips for Taking Photos of Muki
The best time to see Muki is at 10 am when the zoo opens.
She usually runs around her exhibit in the morning for a while before settling down in one of her favorite napping spots.
Also, she's more easily viewable in fall and winter than in spring and summer when the grass is taller in her exhibit.
For the best photos, take them from the front of the exhibit where you don't have any obstructions instead of through the side of the exhibit where there is fencing.
Muki is very shy, loud noises and calling to her doesn't usually work to get her attention. If you quietly observe her, you will have a better chance at seeing her move around and displaying natural behaviors.
Another excellent chance to get great pictures of Muki is during animal enrichment. She is usally taken off of exhibit so that the keeper can
go into the area and arrange the enrichment activity like special food. When Muki comes back out, she will run around checking what is different.
