Gone to the Dogs 3586
Exalted and distained, adored and hated, cherished and persecuted, the Timber Wolf has experienced all that mankind can dish out. The largest canid in the world has flourished for thousands of years but like so many creatures, the pressures of human advancement and our intemperate need for complete control has left many locally extinct. The realization that wolves play an intricate part in the natural balance of many local ecosystems has lead to their gradual reintroduction into territories that they once called home. The insatiable bloodlust of hunters, the desire of ranchers to protect their herds, and general public ignorance remain the most perilous factors effecting the survival of these beautiful animals. Man's best friend was born of the members of this species and yet we continue to deal them an oppressive blow. A morning spent photographing these amazing creatures at Lakota Wolf Preserve has given me greater respect and an amorous appreciation for our largest earthly canine companions. #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #NorthAmerica #Wolves #TimberWolves #DrDADBooks #Canon #WildlifeConservation
