Wolf Encounters
- January 2003
This was another one of the UK
Wolf Conservation Trust's many regularly- organised visits with
their wolves to various locations around the UK. The aim of
these is that members of
the public can get a chance to meet the animals, learn the purposes of
the organisation and see the need for wolf conservation.
In January 2003, the Trust brought two of their
North American Timber wolves - Duma and Dakota for
anyone familiar with the trust's animals - to the newly-built Brueton
Park Nature Centre. This is a small centre just on the
outskirts of Solihull, in the Midlands, and only a short drive away
from my residence.
The little thumbnails below all point
to the full-sized pictures - a selection of those photos I took on the
day. If you'd like a copy of any of the full-resolution photos
or want to see some of the near-duplicates that I didn't upload, feel
free to email me.

Duma decides to call her handler over so she can show him what
she found.
|
| Man and wolf, gazing happily into the distance. |
 |
 |
Ah, the scent of fresh, tasty children on a wolf's
nose. Either that, or they were after the wolf plush on
the merchandise stall. |
| Duma, starting to feel sleepy under the strain of being
scritched, petted and stroked all day. |
 |
 |
After all, life is just so stressful...
|
| ...makes you just want to stretch out and fall
asleep... |
 |
 |
...especially when you've got some friendly humans who know all
the nice places to rub you.
|
| Ah, perfect lupine bliss. |
 |
 |
And after expending all that energy, Dakota poses for photos
with show coordinator Richard Watts...
|
| ...while Duma finally gets in on the act and decides she has
to be in the pictures too. |
