El 14 de marzo es el aniversario del nacimiento y muerte de Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente y al igual que otros muchos me gustaría rendirle un pequeño homenaje con esta foto de sus grandes amigos, los lobos, tomada en el Centro de Interpretación del Lobo Ibérico.
A lone wolf (the Lamar pack alpha male, I was told by a Park Guide) checking the willow stands along the Lamar River in Yellowstone National Park in May of 2011.
When wolves were reintroduced into the Yellowstone ecosystem in the mid-1990s, there were few willows along the Lamar River. After humans hunted wolves in Yellowstone to nonexistence 50 years earlier, the elk population exploded, and herds over-browsed the willow stands. Soon, the willow were nearly gone and there were other deleterious effects on the habitat, too. Within a decade after being reintroduced, the wolves had set that right and vegetation along the Lamar River valley was returning. Elk populations in Yellowstone declined of course, but they have also retreated away from the river valleys and are not threatened. Definitely, they are not browsing the vegetation as much. An old story, but one that I love.
I was also told by one of the Park guides that several days previously to this a lone wolf had brought down and eaten an adult elk. Ravens joined in, too, I bet.
This White-tailed Deer presented a golden photo opportunity while my brother and sister in law and I were visiting Point Lobos state park at Carmel, California on April 22, 2010. I was able to stay close to him, as he was near the road and I could take my photos through the car window.

Point Lobos has several different points, with associated bays and small beaches; one of them was the wondrous pebble beach [below]. I'm guessing the many-colored pebbles came from the conglomerate rocks that form the point.
The tide was on its way out - but this was still an unsafe place for a camera, due to the salty spray in the air.

O lobo-guará habita as pradarias e matagais da América do Sul central, com distribuição geográfica indo desde a foz do rio Parnaíba, no nordeste do Brasil, passando pelas terras baixas da Bolívia, o oeste dos Pampas del Heath, no Peru e o chaco paraguaio, até o estado brasileiro do Rio Grande do Sul.
