Gray Wolf

Canis Lupus

Description:

Sister wolves (Gray in pup) are the last remaining wolves within Yellowstone that once belonged to the Grand Lamar Pack. The pack's alphas have been shot after the pack left the Park's boundaries and the pack has been in turmoil since. these two are trying to strike it out on their own, and looks promising with this recent adult Elk kill, but the pups will most likely not survive the year without a pack's protection and neither will the two sisters unless they join or form their own packs.

This Gray female (in pup) brought down an Adult Elk on her own. The sister Black enjoyed it with her.
