Nice Wolf photos

Check out these wolf images:

Alpha Wolf

I took this photograph at the Alaska Zoo. Our Zoo has a Wolf Pack of six Wolves in a fairly large compound. Obviously less than ideal for any wild animal but these Wolves have various injuries and problems that makes it hard for them to survive in the wild.

This is the Alpha Wolf in this pack and it’s fascinating to watch the pack’s behavior at feeding time. They exhibit many of the natural behaviors you’d expect to see in wild Wolves at a kill site. Everyone kisses up to this Wolf and he determines who gets in line for the food each meal. At least the Wolves are able to maintain a semblance of their natural life.

I always feel horrible when I see Wolves confined but I also appreciate the opportunity to observe Wolves up close in a quasi natural habitat. Would I give that up for never seeing a Wolf in a Zoo again? Of course!

The wolves of the zoo of Zürich are really looking nice, this one particularly much, maybe because (s)he is so fluffy. I also like the easy posture which makes a great animal photo! Thanks for posing so well, wolf! 😀

Arctic & Timber Wolf Habitat

Check out these timber wolf images:

Arctic & Timber Wolf Habitat

"There are two Arctic, and two Timber Wolves that live in this 3.5 acre habitat. Newly rescued Wolves are placed in introduction areas adjacent to this habitat, so they can spend some time getting used to the sights and sounds of the Sanctuary. Once new Wolves feel comfortable with their surroundings, and have had a chance to meet the other Wolves through their enclosure fence, they are released to roam and live freely within the habitat. Wolves are highly social animals and live in Packs with one Alpha Male and one Alpha Female leading the rest of the Pack. Some of the Wolves in this habitat weigh as much as 140 pounds, and can live up to 15 years in captivity." Wild Animal Sanctuary, September 1, 2012

The Eastern Timber Wolf (Canis lupus lycaon) was the first subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus) to be recognized in the United States. Canis lupus lycaon inhabited the eastern portions of the United States and southeastern parts of Canada. The Eastern Wolf is smaller than the Gray Wolf. It has a pale greyish-brown pelt. The back and the sides are covered with long, black hairs. Behind the ears, there is a slight reddish color.

Wolves are stunningly beautiful creatures, even in the rain. I had the huge privilege of having a wolf sniff my hand, through a wire fence, on Wednesday (thank you again, Lillian, for arranging this for us!). It was a memorable and moving experience.

Beautiful day and even though I’ve posted many Wolf images, from the Zoo and in the Wild, I can’t resist posting this one from a couple of days ago.
