The Bow Valley is dominated by human presence and infrastructure that the wolf pack must navigate on a daily basis. Of the 7 pups born into the pack last year, 6 died due to either train or motor vehicle accidents. As the summer has progressed, this years litter of wolf pups are now spending all their time on the go with their parents and the yearling sibling, learning the ropes of the Bow Valley ecosystem. It won’t be easy for them to survive in this environment but so far four have managed to make it past the first few months and are quickly learning the lessons required to survive.

Hope more then one survives to help and be part of the pack next year. Picture reminds me of my encounter with the pack.
This shot really captures the ethos of what it is like to survive in Banff, and it remains my favourite. Down to 3 now, but the good news is the yearling is still surviving.
Thanks! Yes, there was a bit of confusion over what wolf was killed on the TCH a few weeks ago, but as it turns out it wasn’t from this pack. It was likely a lone male in search of new territory.
Awesome 🙂
Thanks Bailey! 🙂
