“People who entered the Courtyard without an invitation were just plain crazy! Wolves were big and scary and so fluffy, how could anyone resist hugging one just to feel all that fur?
“Ignore the fluffy,” she muttered. “Remember the part about big and scary.”
― Anne Bishop
Honestly, that was exactly what I was thinking as one of the wolves sat right in front of me, looking me in the eye.... so fluffy!! Beautiful thick fur that I so much wanted to stick my hands into. Yes, I would have loved to have hugged the wolf!
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.
When I got through the Arctic Wolves area, I saw 2 wolves were going to have a serious fight. Nope. They were acting like wolves; they were playing. They were having such a good time.
Bear Country USA:Welcome to Bear Country USA! Very few people have had a full-grown black bear look in the window of their family car, or if they have, it was not by choice. Even fewer have seen a reindeer or a elk up close. However, many people are getting experiences like these at Bear Country U.S.A. in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Nestled over 200 acres amidst towering pines and along rolling meadows just eight miles south of Rapid City, Bear Country U.S.A. offers visitors intimate views of most North American mammals. Visitors take a leisurely three-mile drive through several enclosures and encounter black bear, elk, reindeer, deer, cougars, bobcats, rocky mountain goats, bighorn sheep, dall sheep, pronghorn and buffalo.
At this “the home of the largest collection of privately owned black bear in the world”, Bear Country U.S.A. guests are guaranteed to see more than they bargained for. From the comfort of their own car, visitors watch as these clowns of nature frolic in a pool, climb trees and amble across the road in front of their vehicle.

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.
