Whilst on ‘Safari‘ in the WMSP region, I came across this magnificent example of the North American Wolf. 

North American Wolf

According to the The North American wolf Association the gray wolf (Canis lupus) also called the Timber Wolf, is the largest of about 41 wild species within the dog family, Canidae, of the order Carnivora. They range in size from 26″ to 38″ shoulder height, 39″ to 80″ in length (tip of nose to end of tail), and vary in weight from 57 to 130 pounds. Their coats may vary in color from grey to brown, from white to jet black.
