Two wolves from the pack of eight at the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Preserve. The captive wolves roam a 15 acre wooded enclosure and have minimal contact with humans. Photography and Viewing is only through one way glass and sightings are hit or miss. This day I was fortunate to see all 8 wolves.

An alternative shot I did for the Macro Monday theme of Backlit, a decorated stone egg I brought back from Alaska, adorned with a pair of wolves, after I spent a month there on deployment to Eilson AFB with 5 Squadron Tornados in the 1990's.
There seems to be a struggle happening for dominance among the male wolves as seen with these two of the eight wolves at the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Centre. The wolves had cached food around the enclosure and when one wolf would dig up a morsel another would try to take it.

A fantastic magic creature, called "alebrije", part of a street exhibition in the streets of Mérida.
Alebrijes (Spanish pronunciation: [aleˈβɾixes]) are brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical (fantasy/mythical) creatures. The first alebrijes, along with invention of the term, originated with Mexico City artisan Pedro Linares. Linares often told that in 1936, he fell very ill, and while he was in bed, unconscious, he dreamt of a strange place resembling a forest. There, he saw trees, animals, rocks, clouds that suddenly turned into something strange, some kind of animals, but, unknown animals. He saw "a donkey with butterfly wings, a rooster with bull horns, and a lion with an eagle head", and all of them were shouting one word, "Alebrijes! Alebrijesǃ Alebrijes!" Before this happened, he was already a cartonero artisan. Upon recovery, he began recreating the creatures he saw in Cartonería, the making of three-dimensional sculptures with different types of papers, strips of papers and engrudo (glue made out of wheat flour and water).
"Open my chest and colour my spine
I'm giving you all
I'm giving you all
Swallow my breath
And take what is mine
I'm giving you all
I'm giving you all..."

These may be my weakest photos from technical standpoint..(lenses were not up to task -560mm) but the wolves were fabulous. Having only each other to depend upon at 30•below requires lots of snuggling for warmth as well as grooming each other.
The Hayden Pack broke off from the Mollies establishing a new group but without territory of their own, they are seen in many parts of the park, While other packs are more territorially stable.
The re-introduction has fierce advocates and naysayers, rangers report that "I'm getting a call from a rancher, yelling at me because the wolves are out and the killed some sheep," "The next phone call is from an animal rights person saying, 'You bastard! Burn in Hell, murderer of babies!' Then the next call is another rancher." Look on NOVA, the Nature channel for a new updateprogram on the Hayden pack, they are thriving! Other wolves think the Hayden Valley is just too damn tough, too cold. GEOTAG view full size.

Thank you for your always kind visit, invitations and comments dear friends ! : )
As a dog lover, it's in my nature to love these as well. Reality tells me that they are not as friendly as they look. As a pack, they kill for sport and often do not eat the kill.

Gray Wolves howling in chorus at Alpha Parc located in the heart of the Mercantour National Park, Saint-Martin-Vésubie, France.
Wolves howl to assemble the pack (usually before and after hunts), to pass on an alarm (particularly at a den site), to locate each other during a storm or unfamiliar territory and to communicate across great distances.
When howling together, wolves harmonize rather than chorus on the same note, thus creating the illusion of there being more wolves than there actually are.
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.
This was taken at Haliburton Forest where they have a captive, wild pack of eight wolves. The wolves have minimal contact with humans and photography is only available through one way glass. Sightings are purely by chance as the wolves can freely roam their 15 acre enclosure.

Wind Wolves is an ecologically unique region where the Transverse Ranges, Coast Ranges, Sierra Nevada, western Mojave Desert and San Joaquin Valley converge. Due to elevation ranging from 640 to 6,005 feet, the preserve has an impressive array of landforms and habitats that serve as a critical landscape linkage and wildlife corridor between the Coast Ranges and Sierra Nevada.
