Description
This image was taken at the International Wolf Center in Ely, Minnesota. It's amazing to see how big the wolves' mouths and paws are when you can see them close up. This is an image of Maya. Maya and her brother, Grizzer, are easy to tell apart when together. Grizzer is quite a bit larger and Maya has more brown on her fur. It's a bit harder on close up shots like this. Update: Maya had to be euthanized this winter because of injuries received during one of the fights for the alpha status between her brother and Denali. Denali and Aidan are the two younger wolves in the pack. Grizzer received serious head injuries and was put in the retirement area so his injuries can heal. He won't be put back in the main enclosure. Maya loved to "fish" for the minnows that were put in the pond during the summer months. She was a good wolf and I'll miss her.
