Obsidian, along with his siblings Bridger and Shasta, were born and captivity and moved to the center in 2019. Obsidian was named after the black volcanic glass that forms Obsidian Cliff in Yellowstone National Park. They are known as The Hoodoo Pack.<\/p>\n<p>The Center is also home for other animals including Grizzly Bears, Otters, Hawks and Eagles. The facility is open all year and it is a favorite place to visit for many tourists in the area. I like visiting there the day before going into Yellowstone to photograph. A great way to test equipment and clothing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15433\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15433\" style=\"width: 1125px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/01262020-grizzly-and-wolf-discovery-center-542-edit.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"15433\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2020\/01\/obsidian\/obsidian-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/01262020-grizzly-and-wolf-discovery-center-542-edit-e1580076823935.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1125,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
