Chattanooga, Tennessee is home to many great places for people to visit and to hike. One place that is little known outside of the Scenic City is the Chattanooga Nature Center.
Situated on the flanks of Lookout Mountain, the nature center is home to 11 endangered Red Wolves. The Red Wolf is one of the most endangered mammals found in North America.
Today I spent some time talking with Wildlife Curator Tish Gailmard. Tish and I had a nearly 20-minute conversation about Red Wolves. To learn more about these amazing animals, please click here to launch the interview. (9 MB)
To view the Red Wolf pups live on webcam, please visit the Chattanooga Nature Center website. After learning about the wolves, you might want to consider making a trip to see these beautiful and critically endangered mammals live and in-person. While you're there, you can hike on more than 50 miles of trails on National Park Service property, or on the adjacent Reflection Riding Arboretum & Botanical Garden.
Happy Trails!
