Default wolf pt 3 ?

Same question,
Driving past the BC boarder towards Mt Robson,
this critter was walking along the road. Couldn't believe it.
Not running, or trying to cross the road, just walking along it.
So we had to take a picture. I thought it was a wolf.
Maybe with a 33 C temp outside at the time she was not herself ?

Thats interesting. I saw one out by Hinton about 3 weeks ago in the ditch. I pulled over to take a pic and it actually came right up to the window. It was a black wolf to boot. I quickly shut the window then it went back into the ditch and laid down about 10 yards away. The wolves down where i grew up (southern Alberta) would never come anywhere near a vehicle, you'd see them running 1/4 mile away.

That's a wolf for sure simply based on the size/profile of the head. I'd also guess female and young. I also finish last in my hockey pool every year too, so what do I know?

Here's a funny little story. My dad worked at the coal mine in Hinton and out at the shovel shop they had a coyote that would come around at lunch time everyday. One guy started to feed it, by hand. Then he started to feed it weiners, holding it closer to his own each time the coyote took it. Never did here of anyone getting nipped but I would sure hate to be the first one to walk around the corner of the shop for a ****. "yeah dispatch..."


No honey I wasn't at the Timberland!

If you drive the Alaska Highway up through BC and YT, usually see a few wolf at the side of the road. I guess people feed them and that's why.

T, I'd say thats as much dog as it is wolf. Might have been someone's pet and they dropped it off in the mountains. Sure is thin.

No wolf will let you stop that close and take a pic unless it's delerious.

The Identification problem would be simple if one could get a sense of scale, which is not always easy to do.
Here we have an average coyote on the left, young wolf center and mature wolf left. Coyote looks kind of ratty, cause he just spent the last month with the ants.
