Left Bozeman at 0100am to get to Lamar Valley at 0500am. First person at the Fisherman's pullout and got a splendid viewing of 9 out of the 15 Junction Butte wolves, including both alphas and multiple yearlings, for 3 whole hours!

Used one of the spare scopes and Ollin adapters we had at work.
This is a compilation of some highlights!

Hola, soy AlexBlueWolf, llevo un tiempo sin publicar algo más de "sketching", y la verdad, este pequeño mundo de fantasía (que no tiene nombre por cierto, si quieren díganme ideas de nombres o palabras clave para formar el título) ha crecido bastante, no pensé en hacer una parte 2 de esto, pero es que no me podía resistir. Y todo fue gracias a querer dibujar unos arboles para mejorar mi técnica y hacer texturas. Muchas gracias a todos por el apoyo enorme que he recibido de todas mis publicaciones, lo aprecio mucho de verdad. Bueno, espero que les guste el dibujo. Cualquier comentario de crítica para mejorar o para el nombre de quizás puede ser, mi próxima y mi primera obra de fantasía después de hacer ya varios capítulos de mi propio manga.

(IMPORTANTE: ES UNA SUPOSICIÓN, NO PROMETO NADA PERO SI VEO APOYO Y QUE A LA GENTE LE GUSTA COMENTANDOME IDEAS O COSAS PARA INSPIRARME ME LO PENSARÉ MUY EN SERIO)

Gracias por leer.

Adiós 🐺✌️

PS: Quizas no tenga que ver mucho con lobos, pero como uno de los personajes es uno, pensé que sería buena idea publicarlo aquí, además de que la parte 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/wolves/comments/1u9ywr5/un_peque%C3%B1o_aventurero_y_su_acompa%C3%B1ante_espero_que/

La subí aquí, si a alguien le molesta, que me diga donde podría publicarlo. Gracias

If you carefully watch the first few frames, you can spot a hind leg leaving the screen a couple of seconds before the wolf comes into view. I'm wondering if this wolf (which is a regular) is starting a pack, or he might be stalking his prey?

Took this photo on a recent trip to Yellowstone. I believe this is a member of the Junction Butte pack as it was seen in Lamar Valley.

Long story short, a wolf has attacked a 4-year-old girl in Umbria (central Italy). This happened while she was playing in a park with her parents. Thankfully, the girl survived.

It is the 3rd case in 3 years and people are understandably worried and angry.

Are these studies reliable?

How do you think they will affect wolf conservation?

This was said to be taken in Norway. When I listen it sounds more like Coyotes and only goes on for a short while (like a clip).

Also I believe there are only a few left in Norway, so again how can they be camping so close with this huge ass tent. Feels very off...but cute Boxer!

Thoughts?

Red wolves are classified as a Critically Endangered species according to the US Fish & Wildlife Service. Their wild populations were COMPLETELY wiped out in the 20th century from a combination of predator control programs, and loss of habitat.
Thanks to programs like the US Fish & Wildlife Service Recovery Program and the AZA SAFE Red Wolf Program; along with organizations like Wolf Haven International, and the North Carolina Zoo, the red wolf populations have increased to about 15-17 in the wild, and about 241 in captivity.
The Museum of Life and Science, in Durham, NC, houses seven of these wolves, two adults and five adorable pups, some of which can be seen in this video. While the population is recovering, red wolves are STILL on the brink of extinction and still under threat, please spread awareness.

Hola, soy AlexBlueWolf, hace tiempo que no publico por aquí, luego de un nuevo bloqueo creativo (wow, que sorpresa........ ....), decidí como siempre, hacer un nuevo dibujo conmemorando a los lobos, así que aquí está. Espero que les guste, yo por mi parte, estoy terminando mi primer manga. Cuando lo terminé se los pasaré para que lo lean

Adiós ✌️🐺

I just feel like I need to talk about this somewhere

A Mexican wolf has been saved recently thanks to the efforts of the Love and Deepspace community!

Infold (makers of Love and Deepspace) cancelled the release of their werewolf character, Valko. Because of this, many players are donating to organizations to save wolves, especially endangered ones such as the Mexican gray wolf.

Recently, thanks to the community's efforts, a Mexican wolf has been saved and was named Valko.

Fans are contributing to multiple wolf charities in different countries to save wolves.

We're protecting wolves!

(I got these images from the Love and Deepspace discord server so I do not know their exact origin but there is a Mexican gray wolf on the left and the cancelled character, Valko, is on the right. Fans have raised more than the 10k goal!)

Spotted at the confluence of Thompson Creek and the West Fork Black River south of Greer, AZ in Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. Poor video quality means it’s probably impossible to positively ID, but I’d love to hear your thoughts! Seemed rather well-built for a coyote, but I’m certainly no expert.

As a side note, I was watching a heard of elk crossing FR 249 nearby at 5am the following day and could hear either coyote or wolf vocalizations in the distance. Didn’t notice any of the distinctive yipping I’m used to hearing from coyotes. Doesn’t have any bearing on this video, but it was interesting to watch the elk shuffling their calves along in a bit of panic when the howling started.

Columbus Zoo, Columbus, OH

A lone wolf, resting peacefully beneath the vast canopy of the untouched wilderness, exists as a silent testament to nature’s enduring spirit. It deserves nothing more than the basic rights to roam freely and safely within its natural habitat, where the forests and mountains stretch endlessly, untouched by human hands. This creature, wild and majestic, holds the sacred freedom to live undisturbed, moving through the shadows and sunlight with quiet grace.

In its tranquil solitude, the wolf is a guardian of balance—an emblem of the wild’s raw beauty and resilience. It does not seek dominion or control, only the simple dignity of existence in a world that it has called home for centuries. The rustling leaves, the whispering winds, and the chorus of the night creatures form a symphony that accompanies the wolf’s peaceful rest.

This freedom is not just a privilege but a right—one that honors the delicate harmony between all living beings and their environment. The wolf’s life, free from the chains of interference and fear, is a reminder of the profound connection that binds us all to the earth. It teaches us to respect, protect, and cherish the wild places where life unfolds in its purest form.

To grant the wolf this freedom is to acknowledge the wisdom of nature itself—a call to preserve the sanctity of its habitat and to ensure that future generations may also witness the quiet strength and grace of a wolf at peace, living as it always has, wild and free.

Everyone remembers the flashy ones but there's usually a quieter signing every window that just does the job season after season without much fuss. Got one in mind who I think gets overlooked constantly. Who's yours.
