Grizzly and Wolf Center at West Yellowstone

I was able to visit the Grizzly and Wolf Center in West Yellowstone, Montana. 
It was a great experience for me to learn more about wolves and the species that they interact within their natural ecosystems.

Yellowstone National Park

I spent my summer at Yellowstone National Park for 3 months working as an SCA (Student Conservation Association) Intern with the Youth Conservation Program. There, I got the chance to see a lot of wildlife, and also some wolves.

Wolf Hollow Review

Wolf Hollow Ipswich, MA



About 2 years ago, I made a trip to Wolf Hollow in Massachusetts. There you got to see wolves just couple feet away from you and the people working with these wolves would tell you the history of wolves in New England, the behavior these wolves exhibit and recorded first hand, and also the storyline behind the wolves in the pack. It was a great opportunity to learn more about wolves and see them so up close. The program provided an amazing experience where the audience got to howl at the wolves and have the wolves howl back, and great handmade souvenirs. My favorite was a necklace with a small jar of wolf fur. Each jar necklace had different wolf's fur, from the pack that I met from the program. I treasured it very much, and I think it is a one of a kind souvenir as a gift to yourself or anyone who loves wolves.

I recommend anyone to go to this place, and experience the thrill of seeing a gray wolf.

Wolf in Madison, NH

"She lives near Big Pea Porridge Pond on the Madison/Conway town line and not far from Tasker Hill Road in Conway.
She said at the corner of Big Loop Road and Eidelweiss Drive there is a den." Written on December 4, 2014.


Is this true? What do you think?

How to Identify Wolf Paw Prints

There is a simple way for you to recognize a wolf track from other animals. Coyotes and large dogs have similar paw prints, so it could be easy to mix them up. If you find a paw print on a walk and you think it might belong to a wolf, grab two straight sticks off the ground. Place one across the print diagonally, and the other stick from the opposite direction, and if it forms a perfect X, then you have a wolf print. Usually, you can tell that it's a wolf print because of its size alone. A wolf paw print would usually be as large as your hand. Also, unlike a cat print, dog prints have their claw imprint visible, and has 2 lobed pads while cats have 3 lobed pads.


As you can see in this picture, wolf prints are much larger, and they are perfectly symmetrical, unlike a dog print or a coyote print. Post any tracks you think it might be a wolf's in the comment section below!
