Adorable wolf pups spotted emerging from their den at Toronto Zoo (VIDEO)

A pack of adorable Arctic wolf pups emerged from their den for the first time Wednesday morning, as their mother Dora maintained a watchful eye at the Toronto Zoo.

According to a tweet from the Toronto Zoo, keepers have observed at least six pups at this time.

The Zoo also asked that all visitors at the wolf exhibit respect Dora and her pup’s privacy and to keep your voices down during this sensitive time.

Last week the Zoo announced that the newborn wolf pups were spotted for the first time, but since pups do not usually fully emerge from the den for approximately 8 to 12 weeks, the Zoo wasn’t able to confirm how many pups were born or how old they were at the time.

We are excited to announce that Arctic wolf pups have been spotted! Pups were recently born to Dora and sired by Imiq.

Given that pups do not usually fully emerge from the den for approximately 8-12wks, we cannot confirm how many pups were born or how old they are at this time. pic.twitter.com/ZcmqMC3Oev
