Don't wake dad wolf

Gallery: Man & FaunaPosted June 19, 2017296 views6 comments

The male red wolf at the Miller Park Zoo was taking a snooze in the hollow tree stump, when 2 of his 4 sons decided to wake dad. Not a good decision! Neither pup was harmed.

A really nice behavior shot. This would remind my kids of me! My only suggestion would be to selectively darken the bright grass in the upper right.

Wolf rules have to be followed by the pups. Dad looks irked and the pup is giving the proper response. You hit the trigger at the right moment.........................Jim

Boy, what a grouch! But on the other hand I completely understand angel

Nice capture, John. Good timing on the shot and a nice composition.
