Koa was part of a zoo wolf pack of three, but aggression developed between the two females, so, they had to be separated. She is still adjusting to sanctuary life.
Saw this magnificent grey wolf residing at the time I took this photo at the Alaskan Wildlife Conversation Center, in Alaska obvs. It's the closest I've been to a wolf in the wild and even from a distance they looked proud and intelligent and amazing.
The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is a sanctuary dedicated to preserving Alaska’s wildlife through conservation, education, research and quality animal care.
I don't want to alarm you, but some people close to me say that once a month, on the full moon, I look a bit like this. (That's the Halloween scary bit for those in parts of the world that celebrate it ;)
Thank you in advance to everyone that comments and/or faves my picture. They are all immensely appreciated.
Three wolf cubs at the entrance of the den, France
Breeding occurs between February and April, only the alpha male and female will mate and she will give birth to the pups alone in her den. After the first month, they emerge from the den with her. It is the responsibility of all the wolves in the pack to help to raise the offspring. They will take turns caring for them while other members go out to hunt. Even with the entire pack caring for them, less than half of all pups survive the first year.
The pups in a wolf pack have a great deal of freedom and privileges. In fact, they are often able to do more and to benefit more than some of the adults within the pack that have a very low ranking.
When they are about two years old they are mature, and they may stay within their own pack and be given a place on the social ladder or they can also leave that pack and go to form one of their own. Males often leave while females choose to stay in the pack they were born into.
Photographed at a wolf sanctuary. Not a zoo.
The sanctuary is for wolves rescued from the wild that could not be let loose due to injury or their inability to live without human assistance.
They are not caged and can run free within the many acres of the sanctuary.

It was snowing when I took this picture. It is at a Wildlife Refuge in West Yellowstone, Mt. These animals will be return the wild. This wolf wasn't trusting me so I took a quick photo and left.

The magic in Yellowstone never ends. Yes, he heard the click of the camera....as he edged out of the woods.
As always, thanks so much for stopping by.

Also known as the timber wolf, Algonquin wolf and eastern timber wolf. This is the 3rd time I have been fortunate enough to see a wolf in the wild in over 30 years of visiting Algonquin Park. It was a great morning!

Wolf mother where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, Devil's maker
Let me hear you sing
Heyya heyya
Wolf father at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shapeshifter
Now let me see you run
Heyya heyya
Holy light, oh guard the night
Oh keep the spirits strong
Watch her grow, child of woe oh
Keep holding on
When I ran through the deep dark forest
long after this begun
When the sun would set, the trees were dead
and the rivers were none
And I hoped for a trace to lead me back
home from this place
But there was no sound, there was only me,
and my disgrace
