The wild refuge of northern Greece “Arcturos” is now home of two young wolves rescued in Serbia, it said on Thursday, according to ANA.
Orpheus and Euridice, as the wolves are called, were taken from a man living at the village of Djindjusa in Serbia in February. The man told authorities he had kept the animals for six months after discovering them next to their mother, who had died from poisoned bait.
Serbian authorities had transported the then cubs to the Belgrade Zoo temporarily, then contacted Arcturos, which agreed to take them in.
The wolf refuge in Agrapidia, where Orpheus and Euridice now live near Florina, includes among others two more wolves rescued in Belgrade.
The refuge is open on Saturdays and Sundays, with tours given on the hour from 10:00 a.m. to 16:00 p.m. and at 16:30 p.m. For more information and visits, please contact +30 23860 41500
