These are the two wolves we gave the wolf popsicles to. It's cool to get both of them in the same shot looking the same direction. The picture feels a bit off balance, but it still seems clear enough to me. Only the paw looks blurred and that's because it's moving, of course. Zooming in, I could still see the one wolf's eyes fairly clearly, so I decided not to scrap it. It was a tough call on this one.
The reason we gave these two wolves the bottles and not the others is because this was the only enclosure that had just two wolves in it. If we put them in one of the enclosures that had three wolves, they would have fought over them. Next time we'll try to bring three so the other wolves can have a treat too. Then again, they're not hard to make. I'm sure Tonya might give the rest of the wolves some frozen water bottles before we drop by again.
Anyways, I like this shot because of how they're both proudly standing, looking like the kings of their domain.
Whilst sorting out the attic today I came across an old scrapbook with posters of my favourite Wolves playes from the late 1970s / early 1980s...
Mexican Wolves nearly became extinct and are extremely endangered. A subspecies of the gray wolf, they are the smallest North American wolf. They were exterpated in the wild when the last 5 were captured in the late 70's. After their numbers increased significantly in captive breeding programs, rereintroduction to the wild began in 1998. These two, at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, are part of the captive breeding program (DSC03581)

The zookeeper was tossing bits of a meat patty into the exhibit, left over from the river otter's lunch. It was fun to watch the wolves hunt for it.

Watford 1 Wolves 4:
Cup love affair reignites McCarthy's hopes of making push for promotion
By Jon Culley
Monday, 28 January 2008
Quirkily, Wolves must return to Vicarage Road for a Championship fixture next Saturday in a match likely to be played at a different tempo, certainly by the home side. In the meantime, the Wolves manager, Mick McCarthy, in particular, faces a tantalising wait.
What he wants to find out, after enjoying what must have felt like his best few days in a couple of months during another frustrating Molineux season, is whether his team's promotion challenge is at last about to regain its momentum. The signs have been good. A first victory in nine matches in the League, at Scunthorpe nine days ago, proved they had not entirely forgotten how to win and, what is more, revealed potentially the answer to McCarthy's striking dilemma as Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, signed for £1.5m from Plymouth, capped an impressive debut with a goal. And now this.
McCarthy was the first to qualify the merit of Saturday's win, pointing out that his Watford counterpart Aidy Boothroyd's line-up was hardly his strongest, but the manner of it was satisfying, none the less.
McCarthy cannot understand why some are so indifferent towards the FA Cup. "If I stopped dreaming about winning it, I might as well pack it in," he said. "What would have happened if I'd put out a weakened team and we'd got beat? I'd have gone back to play Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday and the whole demeanour would have said, 'We've lost again'."
Such considerations clearly are less of a bother to Boothroyd, whose side have not won a home league match since mid-October. "We had a few bumps and bruises and niggles and I did not want to risk players with two close league games coming up," he said.
Wolves were on top from the moment Andy Keogh brilliantly lobbed goalkeeper Richard Lee for his first goal to the crisp low shot with which he wrapped things up. In between, the dizzying Matt Jarvis gave Stephen Elliott and then Jay Bothroyd the chance to profit from his work. John-Joe O'Toole's consolation was probably more than Watford deserved and Wolves will have the upper hand, psychologically, when they meet again.
