Today I tried to connect two plates with a wolf, but it didn't go quite right. The plates are clearly not properly aligned this way, the wolf apparently causing friction.
Perhaps it was made that way so that the wolves are properly fixed, but I find it noticeable.

We found "The Wild Animal Sanctuary" by accident when we were in Denver, Colorado for a day on our recent driving trip to Colorado, Arizona and Utah. This sanctuary takes in confiscated and surrendered animals, including bears, wolves, lions, tigers and many other carnivores. Some came from circuses, others from being used in photography sessions that did not prove to be lucrative and still others that were kept in cages or small enclosures in people's back yards, basements, apartments and garages. Most were born in captivity and suffered terrible neglect and abuse at the hands of their owners. It took 2 bears, that were so used to walking on their hind legs, a month to learn that they were supposed to walk on all four legs. Some became addicted to nicotine so they would do what their owners wanted. Each animal has a story.
The animals looked very healthy and had lots of room to roam. You cannot photograph at ground level so they have a 1 mile long raised walkway where you can see animals interacting with each other and doing what they were meant to do. Once the animals are comfortable being with other rescued animals, they are moved to live in a large acreage habitat of their own.
The wolves decided to gang up on each other. It sounded terrible but they were just playing. We were there in the afternoon so the tigers were sleeping but they do have a water area for them to play. The bears had a large area to live in "Bear luxury".
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Although referred to as the grey wolf, they do in fact have a number of different coat colours. They can be grey, red, brown, black or even white. The wolf is the ancestor of all breeds of domestic dog; however, a wolf’s tail is straight and does not curl like those of many dog breeds. They also have extremely powerful jaws that can generate twice the downward pressure of a German shepherd’s.

"The snow crunched noisily neath heavy boots of surprisingly supple leather. Through the bitter cold, she could feel them surrounding her. Just as well, she was here to hunt. Let them think they were the hunters... for now."
A midweek release of northern themed weapons by our new builder, Alyria Soulstar! I know I didn't show them off terribly well in this image, but I got carried away playing with snow effects for the first time.
Almost looks like she thought I'd make a great lunch lol but she was waiting for a treat. Info on Keara: KEARA WIHOPA is an ALASKAN INTERIOR TIMBER WOLF born in May 2004 and weighs about 75lbs. The name Keara is Celtic for “DARK HAIRED” and “Wihopa” is Native American for “BEAUTIFUL WOMAN”. Keara came from a facility in Ohio and is our shy but playful wolf. She is full of energy and is referred to as our “GRASSHOPPER” wolf because she LOVES TO JUMP. Keara and her companion Micah spend their days playing together.
