Wolf Expedition Day 3 - A Triple Dog Day

My guide called it a "Triple Dog Day" meaning we saw all three canine species in the Park -- wolf, coyote, and fox. Today we saw the whole Molly Pack.  These pictures are all taken from over a mile away
The Mollies are a powerful 16-wolf pack, perhaps the most powerful pack in the Park. They are robust and healthy wolves, unlike the poor Lamar Pack, whose members are afflicted with mange.
When we arrived the Mollies had feasted on a large elk kill and were just lazily lounging around the top of a mountain with visibly full bellies.

A coyote and a fox also tried to sneak in for a bit of the kill. The wolves chased them away as much as they could.










Also saw a moose in the distance.
