Such a cute baby bump!

Such great news!!!

Amazing work being done in conservation!

Despite the frigid temperatures the dedicated staff at Calgary Wildlife keep going! All the animals still need daily food, water, and medical treatments so we ...turn up in our layers upon layers of clothing to make sure everyone is safe and protected from the cold. If you are interested in helping during these Alberta winters, we are always looking for reliable heaters that we can use in our outbuildings to keep those patients that live outside of the main clinic safe and warm. Other things that can help during cold snaps are extra blankets, dry straw bales, wood shavings, and tools for breaking ice for open water sources! See more

25 weeks into her pregnancy and Yewande is doing well! Climbing nice and high is always a good gorilla mom-to-be relaxation strategy. #GorillaBabyYYC

Patient of the week! The North American beaver kit we have in care is growing up quickly! He will still be in care for several months as the typical release age... for rehabilitated beavers is 2-3 years. The wound on his tail has healed really well and we’re thrilled with his progress so far. If you would like to donate to the beaver’s care, please visit our website. Every cent helps and as a charitable organization we rely on donations to provide care to the nearly 2000 wild animals we admit each year. Thank you for your support! http://www.aiwc.ca/support-us/
