Wolf Central!

Saw this magnificent grey wolf residing at the time I took this photo at the Alaskan Wildlife Conversation Center, in Alaska obvs. It's the closest I've been to a wolf in the wild and even from a distance they looked proud and intelligent and amazing.
The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is a sanctuary dedicated to preserving Alaska’s wildlife through conservation, education, research and quality animal care.
I don't want to alarm you, but some people close to me say that once a month, on the full moon, I look a bit like this. (That's the Halloween scary bit for those in parts of the world that celebrate it ;)
Found this in my 2015 archive.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.
Thank you in advance to everyone that comments and/or faves my picture. They are all immensely appreciated.
I've seen coyotes in our neighborhood before, but never a wolf! Luckily it was just a cub, and the mother seemed friendly :)
Four wolf cubs, Espace Zoologique, Saint Martin La Plaine, France
Breeding occurs between February and April, only the alpha male and female will mate and she will give birth to the pups alone in her den. After the first month, they emerge from the den with her. It is the responsibility of all the wolves in the pack to help to raise the offspring. They will take turns caring for them while other members go out to hunt. Even with the entire pack caring for them, less than half of all pups survive the first year.
The pups in a wolf pack have a great deal of freedom and privileges. In fact, they are often able to do more and to benefit more than some of the adults within the pack that have a very low ranking.
When they are about two years old they are mature, and they may stay within their own pack and be given a place on the social ladder or they can also leave that pack and go to form one of their own. Males often leave while females choose to stay in the pack they were born into.

January's first full moon is known as the Wolf moon apparently from the howling of hungry wolves in winter.
It was snowing when I took this picture. It is at a Wildlife Refuge in West Yellowstone, Mt. These animals will be return the wild. This wolf wasn't trusting me so I took a quick photo and left.

I think a Pardosa amentata ID, but it is just as likely to be Pardosa saltans... Or indeed a Common Fox-spider ~ Alopecosa pulverulenta I do get a tad confused with the variable Lycosidae.

De wolf
De leden van zijn groep zijn onderworpen aan de dominerende leider en aan de wolvin van dezelfde rang, die heersen over de hiërarchie noodzakelijk bij het voortbestaan. Enkel het dominerende koppel is bestemd om jongen te verwekken.
Wolven zien diepte minder goed op afstand dan de mens, maar wolven herkennen net als honden bewegende objecten eerder.
Als een persoon stil zou staan voor een wolf, bestaat er een kans dat de wolf door de persoon heen kijkt. Wanneer de persoon beweegt ziet de wolf diegene weer wel.
Wolven zien beter in het donker, omdat er een uit lichtbrekende kleine kristallen opgebouwde pigment laag achter het netvlies zit. Deze pigmentlaag reflecteert het licht. Dit is ook de reden waarom de ogen van een wolf of hond oplichten als men er licht op schijnt. Wolven kunnen bijna helemaal om zich heen kijken in een hoek van 270 graden. De mens kan maar 180 graden om zich heen kijken.

This shot was actually at the nature center, and the image is carefully cropped to take out evidence that he is safely contained!

The interplay between sun, water and rock was just incredible to witness.
