Wolf

When the wolf takes the high spot on the rock at Brookfield Zoo, the photographers are usually happy. Relaxing on the lower ground makes him much more difficult to see. This day he was taking the sun, much to my delight.

Brookfield Wolves & Bisons

Two other species moved to fill out the new Bear Wilderness at Brookfield Zoo would be wolves and bison. The Wolf Woods is not new but it is attached directly to the Bear exhibit. The Bison were moved to where they are on the exterior berms surrounding the east side of the Bear lair.

Here we see one wolf on lookout duty, and two Bison shots. The sand pit is there, according to the signage, because the Bison roll in dirt a lot to relieve bug irritation and in the process are very helpful to the natural ecosystem of the west.

Next post will move to the Grizzly Bears.
