Three Brothers (Gray Wolves - Arctic) Three brothers stand side by side in the cold, their breath visible in the air as they pause together. For a moment, they hold their attention in our direction before turning back to join the pack.
Friends Come to Visit (Gray Wolf - Arctic) A bright winter morning near forty below. A family group moved through camp, active and playful, steam rising from their coats as ice formed along their fur. When they noticed us, their attention shifted — curiosity on both sides
The Chase (Gray Wolf - Arctic) Two young wolves speed across the snow on a bright, cold morning, nipping at one another’s heels in play. As they pass, they glance up at us briefly — a casual check — before continuing on with the chase.
Shake it Off (Gray Wolves - Arctic) On the frozen tundra, the wolves huddle close as a snowstorm moves through, their coats gradually collecting snow. A young wolf breaks the moment, sending snow flying as he shakes it from his fur before settling back in with the group.
Keeping Watch (Gray Wolf - Arctic) As the pack settles into the snowy tundra nearby, a lone wolf rests on a small rise a few feet away. Curled tightly against the wind, the pack’s alpha male keeps watch while the others settle in.
Out on Patrol (Gray Wolf - Arctic) Evening settles over our camp after a long day without sign of the pack. As the light fades, The wolves pass by us on patrol, the pack led by the alpha male pictured here — a brief, purposeful check-in on the way to the night’s hunt.
A pair of wolves from the Wapiti pack—one of Yellowstone’s largest, nearly 20 strong—intently keeping tabs on injured bison standing in the Madison River near sundown, just 100 yards away. Taking down a full-grown bison is a huge risk for the pack, demanding patience, strategy, and flawless coordination. The pack gathers. The tension builds as the light fades.
