A pair of Alpha wolves at Alpha Parc located in the heart of the Mercantour National Park, Saint-Martin-Vésubie, France
In social animals, the alpha is the individual in the community with the highest rank. Wolves show deference to the alpha pair in their pack by allowing them to be the first to eat and, usually, the only pair to reproduce.
It is common behavior in a wolf pack for the alpha pair to be the only two to mate. It keeps the numbers under control, for too many wolves in the pack, especially puppies, would be a liability. Many hungry mouths and not enough hunters means they could all suffer. Instead, each wolf devotes itself completely to the few puppies that are born to the alpha pair, making sure they grow up to be strong and beneficial additions to the pack.
Since 1992, the wolves that had been exterminated in France over a hundred years ago are living here again. They kept migrating across the Italian ‘green border’. Today, there are 25 to 30 wolves divided into packs of five to six, roaming through the seven valleys of the park again.
The Mercantour National Park is a unique nature reserve located in the very southeast corner of France. It covers an area of 2152 square kilometers, almost the size of the Principality of Monaco.
These two are part of a pack I discovered east of Prince George, BC. There were at least 8 that i counted hanging out at this gravel pit. If you look closely at the one on the right he / she is still looking at me.
I spent several hours at the wildlife park at Bad Mergentheim on Wednesday. It takes me over an hour to get there but the place is well worth the drive. One of the reasons why I love this park are the wolves. They have more than thirty timber wolves there, the largest wolf pack in Europe, and to watch them at feeding time is always a great experience.
A Class 87 glides out of Wolverhampton station at the head of an early mark 2 rake of stock with a north bound service. In the foreground is the Birmingham Canal Navigation's basin, which appears to be utilised for storing old canal tow barges. However, the condition of the barge looks to be good, so it may well be used for maintenance work along the system. Note the lock keepers house on the far left, which abuts the appropriately named Lock Street, and the landscaped area between the canal and railway which offer a peaceful haven from the nearby town centre (this photo pre-dates Wolverhampton's elevation to city status).

NOT in my back yard. I took this shot of Alaskan Tundra wolves several years ago in Arizona at the Bearizona Wildlife Park.
These wolves are captive but function like a wild pack of eight. They freely roam a 15 acre wooded enclosure with minimal human contact and photography/viewing is only through one way glass in one building. On this day there were dog-sleds in the area and the wolves would gather in groups listening to the dogs barking although they could not see them. Taken at the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Preserve in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
The figure is painted with airbrush on, the underside is dark and the top is bright.
