If your interested in wolves there is a cool place in Battleground, Indiana called "Wolf Park." There you can see how wolves interact being put in with buffalo and sheep. You may also get the chance to go into a cage with them. I had the chance to go in a cage with them and a caretaker and it was really cool. They are much bigger animals than you realize.
