I photographed him at the Yellowstone National Park on the way to see some of the sites in the park. I was lucky enough to be standing next to one of the Grey Wolf volunteer researchers who provided a lot of great information about this wolf, including his ID. There are quite a few Grey Wolves\u00a0that wear a collar so that the researchers and volunteers can track them.<\/p>\n<p>The wolf is a major predator that was\u00a0missing from the greater Yellowstone ecosystem for decades until its restoration in 1995.\u00a0As of January 2016, there were about 100\u00a0wolves in 10 packs living primarily in Yellowstone and 528 wolves living within the greater yellowstone ecosystem.\u00a0In general, wolf numbers within the park\u00a0have fluctuated between 83-104 wolves from 2009 to 2015. I was very lucky to have seen this wolf, even though\u00a0it was far away.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9811\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9811\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20160920-grey-wolf-23e-e1474934058481.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"9811\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/grey-wolf\/grey-wolf-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20160920-grey-wolf-23e-e1474942411985.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
