Canis Lupus

I recently came across some images of wolves from another photographer, Dan Newcomb. Dan has some outstanding shots of captive wolves from a wildlife centre near Golden BC.

This sent me back into my image library to review my own wolf images taken on three separate visits to the Muskoka Wildlife Centre. At Muskoka, we were allowed in the wolf enclosure to photograph a pair of adult wolves, Akaya and Montana. Although this particular pair are captive and accustomed to human presence, I still felt a rush from being close to these magnificent creatures with no barrier between us.

Here are some of the "up close and personal" shots that I have managed during my all too few visits to the centre.

It's time to think about a return visit.
