So apparently my dad decided to go snowshoeing in the mountains recently and came across...

Wonderful wolvesies!!! *_____*

Such a neat find! And I'm impressed with his camera skills here too!

[strangefrontier]

Wolves! If that had been me, I'd have probably tried to hug them...

[strangecreature]

Heeeeehehehe! "D'awww, fluffy wolvesies, lemme love you! No, come back!"

Are they normally this small? I know that our wolves back home have started breeding with coyotes because they are becoming so rare, and now these little coyote wolves are wandering around like hyenas.

[strangecreature]

Nah, from the other two shots that he sent me, I'm not convinced these little dudes are fully-grown yet. (Either that or they're crossbreeding out here too. O_O We've got plenty of coyote/dog and wolf/dog mixes running around the local reserve up there, so it wouldn't be such an impossible thing, I imagine!)

[coniferous_you]

That would be interesting; I always thought it was mostly an eastern Canada thing. It'd be a little troubling if wolves weren't even able to survive in what is a more appropriate environment! Because, as you know, to breed with a coyote a wolf has to come down in the world and they are ashamed.

[strangecreature]

Hee! "Oh, wolf-bro, slumming again? You should be ashamed!" Here, let me upload the other two pictures so we can judge whether they're just pups at the teenage stage or a crossbreed...

That's awesome!

[strangecreature]

So awesome! :D

Great photo. What an amazing experience. I'm curious where did he see them?

[strangecreature]

Just by Highway 1A at the edge of Kananaskis. :) Pretty bustling picnic area in the summer, so hopefully they'll find somewhere a bit more secluded before the tourists come back!
