The pair of animal enclosures at the Akron Zoo that can be watched on the subscription-based site are the resident grizzly bears and red wolves.
Subscribers to zoolife can watch the Akron Zoo’s resident red wolves.
Cameras have been set up so subscribers can remotely view the happenings within the zoo’s enclosures where bears Jackson and Cheyenne and red wolves Manny, Poco and Hawk call home. The cameras can pan and zoom in.
