OK, the lighting is bad out in the lobby in the late afternoon.
But I didn't see too many Wolverines this year, it's usually a costuming staple, and I certainly didn't see enough White Queens. Can there ever be enough White Queen costumes?
Skull of a wolverine (Gulo gulo).
The wolverine is the largest and most formidable member of the weasel family.
The skull is heavy and short, built for power above all. It is smaller than but not at all dissimilar from the skull of a spotted hyena.
Both are delightfully efficient predators with unpleasant reputations. Naturally, I like them both.

Inspired by Cradea and Flatline I decided to try photograpihing some Marvel guys. When I was a kid this what Wolvy wore and is still my favorite costume of his. I'm sure it's obvious this is the same set as the recent Watchmen pic I did, and once again I added mist just for some atmosphere. I really gotta make some more set pieces. Oh and I'm using Cobra Ninjas as Hand Ninjas. ;)
Look at the paws on this guy! Last summer, a visitor reported to our Butterfly Monitoring Crew Lead, Michelle Toshack, that they had seen a wolverine chasing a marmot while hiking just to the west of the Park boundary in the Skagit watershed. Michelle told our wildlife biologists, and Roger Christophersen set up a scent lure to attempt to attract the wolverine to a hair snare and motion camera. The remote camera captured these photos of a male wolverine and the snare caught a useful hair sample.
Keith Aubry, Wildlife Biologist with the US Forest Service had the hair sample analyzed and recently reported that the DNA analysis confirmed this report as the westernmost verifiable record of a wolverine in the last 15 years! In addition, the hair sample identified this wolverine as "Special K", a previously captured wild study animal. Special K was caught in a trap near Bridge Creek back in February of 2012, but would not go down during immobilization and had to be released without a radio-collar intended to track movements across its home range. Luckily, biologists had taken a hair sample that allowed this identification that gives researchers another example of how wide-ranging these animals are - the two sites are separated by more than 45 miles and a mountain range!
This photo was taken on the 13/12 - 2014.
I came across this photo, which I took last month and I had forgotten all about it. I decided to take my time to edit it to make all the colours look correct and I actually liked how it turned out.
I don't take a lot of photos of wolverines and I don't know why. I had a close encounter with this wolverine in November, when I got my new camera and it was so close that my camera couldn't focus. It is really curious and I really like curious animals
Hungry wolverine runs around by waiting for his daily lunch feeding. We tried to take this pic through the wire fence, so this pic needed a bit after works an some effects to be worth seeing.

Nothing fancy, just a basic arms outstretched pose with blood splatter everywhere I had to get out of my head late one night as an exercise.
Next to his leg is actually a little of my *own* blood, so it's a DNA enriched.
Whacked it up on Ebay since so many people expressed interest in this one. ( And because paying rent is fun )
4th of july. This beautiful picture was taken when the sun was going down. I will be back, I promise.
