Gray Wolf, Yellowstone National Park

Photo of a gray wolf near Obsidian Cliff in Yellowstone National Park.
OK, for this last one, don’t look at me.  Look a little to the right.

I photographed this wolf way back in 2008.  She was returning with her pack to a bull elk carcass at North Twin Lake that a very large grizzly had taken from them.  The grizzly slept there and ate virtually every bit of the elk over a period of a few days.     She was illegally shot just across the river from the town of Gardiner a few years ago. Unfortunately, they never caught the killer.
