Tuk is a male Grey Wolf, born in May 1999, and his colouring is referred to as the "black phase" of the Grey Wolf. He and his sister, Maya, were adopted at the age of 6 weeks. Tuk now occupies the Beta position in our wolf pack. He is very shy around visitors, often hiding, but is loving and respectful towards his pack. He weighs about 90 lb (40 kg), which is average for a male wolf.
