#bcwolves

Cuteness level 10/10. After days of tracking and more than 8 hours that day standing quietly in the same spot, getting eaten by mosquitoes and just when we were ready to leave for our boat back home this little wolf pup poked around the corner and gave us the rare glimpse we’ve been patiently waiting for all day. We both had sent a little prayer for just one single shot of a pup and we were heard. The encounter lastet for maybe 10-15 seconds before this little guy turned around and left. It was our last wolf sighting of the trip but especially sweet after we had only seen this guys’ bum the day before in the thick forest and it might have been the first time this pup has ever seen a human so perhaps a first for both of us. I’m still processing the beautiful encounters we had and the way the wolves accepted us in their territory and never met us with any aggression. ❤️🐺 @seaforthexpeditions #wolves #wolfpup #puppy #safebcwolves #bcwolves #explorebc @explorecanada @hellobc @pacificwild @echoconservationsociety #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #wild (at Supernatural British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCluPuNB8Fg/?igshid=sjchvt1plo03

Coastal wolves roam and patrol the shore lines and intertidal zones but mostly live under the canopy in the dense rainforest of British Columbia. It’s maze in there and we were extremely lucky when this female showed up on an old tree stump to check us out. Her sense of smell is far superior to ours, helping her to identify and understand her surroundings in a much better way. And even though we were in her territory she didn’t show any sign of concern or aggression towards us and was calmly minding her own business after making sure we didn’t pose a threat. I love these respectful encounters with wildlife and hope they can shift the image and reputation of these apex predators for the better.

Wolves in the Great Bear Rain forest carry more genetic diversity than island grey wolves. Why? Part of the reason is that they've never gone through a genetic bottleneck - a sharp reduction in the size of population followed by a resurgence in numbers originating from only a few individuals.
