Canis lupus
Gray Wolf, probably a member of the Canyon pack, approaching and then feeding on an elk carcass near the North Entrance, Yellowstone National Park. Gray wolves vary in color from steel gray through black and brown to white. Human persecution has reduced the species' original range to about one third, due to livestock predation and unwarranted fear over attacks on humans. The species is now extinct in much of Western Europe, in Mexico and much of the USA.
