In March, Scott and I visited the UK Wolf Conservation Trust at Beenham (near Reading). We got to spend a good couple of hours walking with the wolves. It's a fantastic experience - I'd strongly recommend it to anyone with an interest in them. Sign up now!

Two wolves at play |
 |
A thirsty wolf |
 |
The three pups having a play-tussle |
 |
One of the females being given a belly scritch by - me! |
 |
"I think I'll just rest a moment before tearing off like a mad thing again." |
 |
"Please, _somebody_ give me a tummy rub." |
 |
Like some kind of reverse Cerberus, this wolf has one head and three bodies. |
 |
Rolly-sleepy-tussle |
 |
"Yum - your hand tastes of tuna." |
 |
They are clever, aren't they? |
 |
Going for a tongue-dangling stroll |
 |
Another wolf paddling in the stream |
 |
It was the mating season when we went to visit, so there were a few dominance tussles like this. (Sorry the picture quality isn't brilliant - I did try to sharpen it up a bit.) |
 |
Another one of me passing out scritchies. |
 |
This one's rather special. It's not quite what it looks like - that's the Alpha _female_ mounting another female there to enforce dominance. You don't get to see this a lot. |
