Alpha Wolf

NatureZone

I ran across the alpha male and alpha female wolves from the Canyon Pack in Yellowstone Park the other day. They didn't stop to pose, but I was able to get this image of the female as she passed by me.

It was cool... but they were close and moving fast. I didn't post the male because his photos weren't "quite" as attractive as the female... but here he is, uncropped at 15-20 yards with my 500mm.

I think you might mean you lucky "wolf" you!!
Nice catch - can you humour me with some more info? Were you in a "hide" - if not what was the situation. How long did you sit/stand before you were able to get these.
Man - that male is mighty attractive ... not!! Looks like he has been putting in the hard yards.

Thanks karl, He's a beauty [minus the tongue of course], But I am not picky when it comes to wolf sightings never mind actually getting the shot. it looks like he has a little blood on the side of his face above his nicely captured eye. maybe had himself some lunch? Thanks for the update on your fabulous trip. Take care..
