The wolf have fascinated us for centuries as a source of awe, anger, inspiration, and fear.
This blog seeks to neither villianize nor elevate the animals known as wolves, but rather to present them as the species they are.

Sorry for not being too active on this blog; I’ll try to post more often (or at least post) from now on.
In an attempt to make up for this blog’s dormancy, I’ll put up this here video of a sleepy Mexican wolf at the Brookfield Zoo.
Dharma can be considered an example of Canis lupus soupus, or “a general mix of gray wolf varieties”.

Watermelon party this Saturday!
Wolf Park will be having its annual watermelon party this Saturday, July 2.
The park is located in Battleground, Indiana, near Lafayette. Even if you miss the party, there will be a Howl Night program in the evening and both a Wolf-Bison Demonstration and a wolf feeding on Sunday.
If you can go, be sure to bring your camera! This isn’t like any other facility; you’re near-guaranteed to see wolves up close and displaying their natural behavior.
If you can’t attend the festivities, then don’t worry; during the summer, the Park holds Howl Nights every Friday and Saturday, Wolf-Bison Demonstrations on Sundays, and guided tours every Tuesday through Sunday.
I hope to see you there!
