One of 4 wolves at Cheyenne Mtn Zoo.
The Mexican Gray Wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) is the rarest and most genetically distinct species of Gray Wolves in North America. They are also the smallest species and its' main prey is the White-Tailed deer, though it will prey upon other ungulate species as well. They hunt in packs of 5 or 6 and adults usually mate for life. Our zoo is one of a few that is helping with the reintroduction program for this species.

At Langedrag Nature Park, you can go in with "unsocialized" wolves. In a sense, they are untrained, though they are somewhat accustomed to humans entering their presence every so often and will come up to explore.
Obviously you cannot pet them, but it was really neat to have them within 2-3 feet of you as they investigated the new addition to their pen.
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...
The inaugural Rancher Range Rider Rendezvous (4R) took place November 3rd and 4th at the K Diamond K Ranch in Republic, Washington. Bringing together ranchers, range riders, conservationists, researchers and wildlife agency staff from Washington, Idaho and Montana to learn from each others' experiences raising and grazing livestock where predators exist.
Co-hosted by Conservation Northwest, People & Carnivores (Bitterroot Challenge) and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The highlight of my trip was when the wolves were only a half a mile away from the ranch and they began howling. I couldn't see them with my eyes but was able to see them through my lens.
