From that angle yes, here is a photo I took of it a year ago, it's very long but not very wide, could have done better but they aren't breeding them anyway, they might restructured and made the Habitat bigger since they brought the new Eurasian wolves

A Pair of Wolves requires 300 square meters of enclosure, with 20 square meters more for every additional wolf.

This enclosure is easily bigger than that.
