Mesa - timberwolf - Florida preserve.

Between the age of roughly 8-16 weeks old, wolf pups' eyes will slowly transition from baby blue to amber/yellow. At about 9-10 weeks old, Qantaqa and her 2 brothers are undergoing this exact change, and it's given her a bit of a glowing gold effect. 💕 Wolf Hollow is a nonprofit endangered wildlife facility located in Ipswich, MA that exists for the purpose of protecting the wolf in the wild through education and exposure.

Scotten works as a range rider, under a new state program that hires horsemen to keep predators from devouring cattle on this mix of federal and private land. Once near extinction, wolves were reintroduced to national parks like Yellowstone over a decade ago and have slowly made their way into the ranch territory at the foothills of the North Cascade Mountain Range. Now, there's a population of at least 90 of these pack oriented, shy hunters. For hunters and ranchers, co-existing with an endangered species is a massive cost and source of annoyance, and represents what many view as invasive government control. From the point of view of the environmental groups like Defenders of Wildlife and Wolf Haven who work tirelessly to protect endangered species and biodiversity, it's a massive success story.

THE TIMBERWOLF.  This year I've been having a love affair with matte finishes and film fades... Timberwolf on a north Florida wolf preserve. From the series "TOTEM"
