Now For My First Post

Hi all,

My first frames on here are some of my favorite subjects, the wolves at the center where my wife andf I volunteer.

These guys are Mexican Grays and are critically endangered with only about 400 left on the planet. Getting a photo session with them was a rare privilege. Click on the first one to see the whole gallery:

And welcome to this forum, John - looking forward to seeing more of you and the wolves

Nice one John, welcome to the forum. I have been out looking for wolves myself a few times, we have a small, long legged variety here in Brazil, but so far have not had the privilege of an encounter. Good to hear you are doing your bit for this species.
Look forward to see more of them.

NIce.
I think the howl pose in the last one says "wolf" to me most of all.

Thanks all.

I'll post a bunch more of the wolves over time including our Ambassador pack which are the ones the public gets to see all the time.

We don't usually get to see these Mexican Grays since the idea is to keep them afraid of people and just maybe release them or their pups to the wild at some point. If they lose their fear of people, they are dead. End of story.

Thanks again for the welcome. I think I'll like it here.

Welcome to our forum!

I too like the howling shot and the fact that you captured both wolves doing it makes it for me.

Thanks for sharing these.

Looking forward to seeing more from you!

Are those from Lakota? If so, I had no clue they had mexican wolves.

Paul,

I'm sorry it took a week to reply. Holidays and all.:blush2:

Anyway, these guys are from the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, NY (www.nywolf.org ). They are part of the federal Species Survival Program which is why we don't see them very much.

You can see the my entire wolf gallery at my pbase site.

Have a good New Year all.
