These are some photos I took at the International Wolf Center in Ely Minnesota. Popup LinkLeader of the pack I have been there many times, but on this day the wolves were hanging out where you could see them pretty good.Popup LinkRelaxing After watching them for a while I concluded they are just big dogs, with all the usual dog behavior.Popup Linkkiss These timberwolves are very big and they live in the wild up here. In the winter especially you can hear packs of them howling.Popup Linkthe pack They are agile hunters, here is one on the Popup Linkprowl.

    What a wonderful place, Love seeing these beauties, exposure in the sun is a bit bright, but the shade shots are awesome!

    They do act and interact like domestic dogs...after all they do have ancestor heritage...really nice shots....even through glass.

    I agree the exposure in the sun is bright, some of the photos turned out way too bright to really see any details. Thank you for constructive criticism!
