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.
