Wolves In Yellowstone/montana

This gallery is composed entirely of wolf shots, the majority of which were taken in Yellowstone National Park (YNP). Of the Yellowstone photos, most are of the Druid Peak pack which no longer exists. This exstinction was caused by a number of reasons, mange, parvo,inter pack warfare and the shooting of animals that leave the park. There are also a number of photos of the Slough Creek pack that now no longer exists. The most recent photos (taken in March 2011) are of the Lamar Canyon pack. These animals are now in territory once occupied by the slough creek and druid packs, (the silver pack photographed in Mach 2010 is no more). The blacktail pack is still going strong with 14 members.. We were also foutunate to see some agate and molley pack members. This gallery contains some good photos of the agates taken in september of 09 near LaHardy rapids. Over all the wolf population in the park has dropped from aprox. 140 last year to aprox. 85 now. By the way, the wolf with cub photos were not taken in Yellowstone, but rather were controlled photos taken at animals of Montana near Bozeman.

  • Looks like she is laughing.
  • Untitled photo
  • Let's get out of here.
  • They stopped their play when 785's group started to vocalize. This vocalization was returned. They look intent don't they.
  • Greeting the boss.
  • A young daughter talking back.
  • In this one Mom dosen't look very happy.
  • Mom appears to be laying down the law to the alpha male. He is not the pups father. He was the "old guy"
  • Time to let the 785's know who runs this area. Hope the blacktails don't hear.
  • All this howling can be exhausting.
  • Ok, lets go
  • The alpha female leads the way.
  • This is a member of the canyon pack
  • One of the 785 group. They are not yet a pack. The shot was taken above slough creek.
  • Canyon pack wolf near Lehardy
  • A canyon pack wolf calling the others
  • This wolf is one of the canyon pack and was taken in a small medow just off the road near LeHardy rapids in YNP. They were unusually close causing a traffic jam. As I was walking down the road this wolf unexpectedly ran from the river side between a tour bus and myself. That will get your heart going. Remember to stay 100 yards from the wolves, but it's difficult when you don't know they're there.
