Adult wolves stage mock fights, play chase, and leap on each other. The ambushing of unwary pack members is a favorite game. Wolves often play with tremendous energy but rarely harm one another.

Interesting thing about Langedrag, you can go in with the wild wolves, but the socialized/trained wolves are kept in a cage. This picture was taken through a fence.

It's hard to get good shots through a double fence. This winter will find me shelling out the $300 to get a private photo session with them. All the money that the preserve brings in goes toward the care of the animals.
In 1995 wolves were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park, after a 70 year absence. They were introduced because the elk had been overgrazing inside the park. They were introduced to balance out the ecosystem. In other words they were supposed to bring the wild back into Yellowstone. And they have been successful.
"Yellowstone wolves are causing a trophic cascade of ecological change, including helping to increase beaver populations and bring back aspen, and vegetation." The elk carcass in the photos had been brought down by wolves and that carcass is feeding the whole community of wildlife. In addition to keeping the elk populations under control and on the move wolves also keep the coyote populations in control.
Grey WolvesThe wolves of the Grouse Mountain Refuge for Endangered Wildlife are retirees from the movie industry. Originally born into captivity and hand raised, the wolves are unable to be released into the wild. The former "Hollywood North" animals are, therefore, being afforded a chance at the most natural and enjoyable life possible at Grouse Mountain.
Grouse Mountain is proud to give these wolves a large, protected home, at the base of our mountain, where they can roam freely and explore their habitat.
In addition to the vegetation and wildlife within the habitat, the wolves are carnivores and their diet consists of beef, chicken, horsemeat, and fish with vitamin and mineral supplements.
They belong to a species known as grey wolves (Canis lupis).

My cousin's dog, Jabu.
He can run like the wind.
From Wikipedia:
The saluki is perhaps the oldest known breed of domesticated dog. As a purebreed type, its history can be traced back almost 5000 years. A study published in the May 21, 2004 issue of Science confirms the Saluki's antiquity through DNA analysis identifying it as one of the earliest breeds to diverge from wolves.[
