Tehalin – meaning “beautiful spirit” – is a handsome gentleman who came to us with his Arctic siblings (Modoc, Sakarri, and enclosure-mate Nike). He is 12 years old and knows how to assert himself with vocalizations and impressive posturing. However, he is known for going border-line comatose while being scratched by staff members! Tehalin also has very good table manners; during feeding time he will pick up his meat and place it on the nearest picnic bench to eat. His loving soul and antics to get a scratch on the chin make it nearly impossible to not give him the attention he craves.
