Iberian Wolf Recovery Centre

Zimbru at the Iberian wolf recovery center (gradil, mafra, portugal)

In 2007 I worked as a vollunteer in the Iberian wolf recovery center at gradil, mafra, portugal. It was an amazing experience. I took care of eleven wolves: prado, tojo, duru, torga, alvão, olmo, zimbru, aura, miñho, clariñha and teixo. Zimbru was the most friendly wolf in the center and was raised by humans. Do not try petting a wolf at home :)

Torga at the Iberian wolf recovery center (gradil, mafra, portugal)

In 2007 I worked as a vollunteer in the Iberian wolf recovery center at gradil, mafra, portugal. It was an amazing experience. I took care of eleven wolves: prado, tojo, duru, torga, alvão, olmo, zimbru, aura, miñho, clariñha and teixo. Torga was the oldest wolf at the center. She was rescued from a portugese zoo where she was neglected. Torga was 16 years old. She was deaf, blind and had almost no fur. She died one year later due to old age.

Iberian wolf - Video Learning - WizScience.com

The Iberian wolf is a subspecies of grey wolf that inhabits the forest and plains of northern Portugal and northwestern Spain.

As of 2005, it was recognized as a synonym of C. l. lupus by Mammal Species of the World. Although skull morphometrics, mtDNA, and microsatellite of Iberian wolves differ from other European wolves.



The Iberian wolf differs from the more common Eurasian wolf with its slighter frame, white marks on the upper lips, the dark marks on the tail and a pair of dark marks in its front legs that give it its subspecies name, signatus . The subspecies differentiation may have developed at the end of the Pleistocene Ice Ages due to the isolation of the Iberian Peninsula when glacier barriers grew in the Pyrenees and eventually reached the Gulf of Biscay in the West and the Mediterranean in the East.

Males can weigh up to 40 kilograms, with females usually weighing between 20 and 30 kg.

The Iberian wolf lives in small packs. It is considered to be beneficial because it keeps the population of wild boar stable, thus allowing some respite to the endangered capercaillie populations which suffers greatly from boar predation. It also eats rabbits, roe deer, red deer, ibexes and even small carnivores and fish. In some places it eats domestic animals such as sheep and dogs.

Until the 1900s the Iberian wolf inhabited the majority of the Iberian Peninsula. However, Spain's Francoist government started an extermination campaign during the 1950s and 1960s that wiped out the animals from all of Spain except the northwestern part of the country, where there is still a sizable population in Sierra de la Culebra. Similar policies in Portugal almost led to the extinction of the animal south of the Douro river . Some authors claim that the South-Eastern Spanish wolf, last sighted in Murcia in the 1930s, was a different subspecies called Canis lupus deitanus. It was even smaller and more reddish in color, without dark spots. Both subspecies were nominated by Ángel Cabrera in 1908.

Picos de Europa National Park. Part 3

▶FULL DOCUMENTARIES |

▶ Spanish video:
In northern Spain, the largest limestone rock massif in Atlantic Europe has been transformed into a protected area for the conservation of Cantabrian ecosystems and wildlife. It is the largest national park in the country and one of the largest in Europe. A world of high mountains, alpine meadows and leafy forests which was also the stage for important episodes in Spain’s history.

The Picos de Europa National Park covers 64,660 ha. which are divided among the provinces of León, Asturias and Cantabria. It was created on May the eleventh, 1995, as an extension to the first national park to be set up in Spain, that of the Covandonga mountain, which was nominated 1918.

The history of man and the Picos de Europa has been very intense from the outset. From the time of the Celts, who worshipped the god Vindius, these mountains have had a sacred character. Subsequently, their relation with the battle and victory of King Pelayo against the Moslems, the origin of the Reconquest of Spain, finished by transforming them into a symbolic place revered by its inhabitants. The relief of those first settlers of the Quaternary has survived to this day and man continues to live inside the park.

Pasturing is an activity which dates back centuries and which is still permitted within the protected area.
When the Covadonga Mountain National Park was created, precursor to the present-day Picos de Europa park which encompasses it, locals were already grazing their flocks in the region, which is why they were allowed to continue with their domestic animals. Man’s pressure on nature then began to intensify. Wild animals gradually started taking shelter in the protected areas, while their numbers began to decline in the forests that were free of restrictions.

However, for the men living within these protected areas, where hunting was forbidden, the sheltering of certain species within them didn’t take long in developing into a problem. For farmers, the increase of herbivores within the reserves represented a continuous threat to their crops, while shepherds and livestock farmers looked on in concern as wild carnivores sought refuge in the areas where they grazed their herds. Among the latter were the shepherds of the Picos de Europa. Because within the park, in the same areas where cows, sheep and domestic goats roam, lives the most powerful predator of the Spanish forest: the wolf.

The inside not only contains important images of worship, it also serves as the eternal resting place of the famous King Pelayo, the one who gave Covadonga an unforgettable role in the history of Spain.
In historical times, the forests of the Picos de Europa were populated with a large number of bears. The very son of Pelayo, Fabila, died while hunting them in these mountainous lands. Today, however, the bear is the rarest and most powerful animal in the park.
For centuries, men have hunted and killed the bear, fearing for their herds or attracted by its trophy, until pushing it to the edge of extinction. It’s a similar story to that of the wolf, but the bear is less adaptable and finds it much more difficult to recover its numbers. Today, the reserves of the Cantabrian mountains are the last hope for the Iberian bear, since the Pyrenean population seems condemned to disappear definitively. The authorities compensate livestock and crop farmers for damages caused by the bears. The government and private institutions are joining forces to save them. And little by little, it seems that the bears are beginning to recover. Perhaps at some point in the future they will become numerous again in the fertile beech forests of the Picos de Europa National Park.
