Thank you for another wonderful article. The place else could anyone get that kind of information in such an ideal approach of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such info.

I have a question for you: if qualitative food to assist people increase intelligence, why then, dogs that eat the same food as people for thousands of years, are nothing intelligent than their cousins wolves. Wolves are more cunning and resourceful, even from domestic dogs. .-= Baric´s last blog ..Russia-Iran Re-population project =-.

Great pictures guys! I’m heading on another big journey come October. I’ll be backpacking from Saskatchewan all the way to the East Coast. I’ll be sure to make a stop and try and visit the wolf sanctuary. Looks beautiful. Hopefully ol’ Omega will still be there, if I see him I’ll be sure to snap a pic.

Beautiful creatures, really is a shame that we humans have a habit of leaving a trail of destruction wherever we go. However, it does seem that in the last 3 years that eco-friendly has become the new black. Now that all the big businesses and mega-corporations are seeing it as another source of income for them, they’re investing all this money into making it finally acceptable to care about the planet, and it’s inhabitants. Western Culture can be so twisted sometimes. I can’t complain though, so long as things continue to be done to make the world a better place it shouldn’t really matter who capitalizes off the situation.

Great post guys!

Anil, I think you are right. Everything has a purpose and it is true, Alphas would certainly fight more if they didn’t have a scapegoat. We all still feel bad though:(

I too, also feel bad for the Omegas. I’ve read however that they play a very important part in keeping the pack stable. Since there’s a scapegoat the alphas and betas don’t injure or fight with each other often and the stronger wolves and pack overall benefit. (At least that’s how I recall it.)

Yes, the Alpha Male was certainly proud and strong. He was constantly keeping an eye on the pack.

Very proud looking animals. I like the alpha male pose.

Hi Conor.
Yes, we feel sorry for the Omega too. It really takes a beating from the other wolves. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him the whole time we were there. So sad. But at least we will all remember him now.

Arent they beautiful? These pictures are lovely. I feel so sorry for the Omega wolf, this one looks injured obviously from the bullying. Love the post.

Cheers Conor

Thanks for the information. We are going to India next year, so we will be sure to check out the National Park. It is true, the growing population is taking its toll everywhere. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous pics. We love natural refuges for animals and this one looks beautiful. One of our favorites is Ranthambore National Park in India which is one of the few remaining habitats for Bengal tigers. The number of tigers in the park is dwindling not because of poaching or hunting, but because of grazing. Nearby farmers bring their cows to graze on the national park lands, leaving less food for the nilgai (a type of deer), which is the tigers’ natural prey, resulting in less food for the tiger. It’s a different type of exploitation than that which you describe here, but just as harmful.

Thanks Shannon, I was reading about wolf attacks online to see if there have been any, and some websites were just starting to bother me. Some people were writing about how dangerous wolves were and that they are killing machines and I kind of got angry, so I couldn’t keep it from showing up in my writing. Thanks for the comment. Yes it does feel good to not exploit them. Too bad those bears at ?eský Krumlov in your post http://alittleadrift.com/2009/08/cesky_krumlov/

Really stunning pictures and you are right on with your rant about human entitlement. The center sounds like an amazing opportunity to see the wolves up close but still be able to feel good about not exploiting them/harming them
