Yellowstone Wolves I wanted to see wolves so badly in the park and was beginning to get discouraged after catching up with Rick McIntyre of the wolf project when he told us that the signal of the alpha female of the Specimen's pack was lost. (this was by the bridge just before Slough Creek) We were on our way out of the park when we saw these two wolves trailing up the hillside. The gray was collared and the black was almost a chocolate brown if zoomed in. I'm not sure which pack these two were from.  Canis lupus,Geotagged,Gray wolf,United States,Winter Click/tap to enlarge

      1. Which technology was failing? Was there a problem with the site itself? Posted 10 years ago

  2. I write a nature column for a local online magazine here in NW England, I've just finished a piece on the re-introduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park for a future issue its an amazing story. Posted 10 years ago

The wolf is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America. The wolf is the largest extant member of the family Canidae, and is further distinguished from other Canis species by its less pointed ears and muzzle, as well as a shorter torso and a longer tail.
