Well taken.

Thank you much for the thumbs and the kind comments.

Was a good time as there were another 3 photographers there when we arrived traded some information about other shooting opportunities.

Saturday the 10th of February visted the Brookfield Zoo, had received about 8-10 inches of snow over the previous 2 days.
Spent a few hours at the Wolf exhibit and took some shots, let me know what you like and don't like.
I was trying for composition.
All shots take with D500 and Nikor 200-500, editing in Lightroom for Tonal Balance and sharpening.
The captures varied, metadata is attached.
If you look close at the second picture, there is a shaved patch on the wolfs front leg, of the 6 wolfs, 5 we could identify same shaved patch on either of the front legs. My shooting buddy and I think the wolfs had there teeth cleaned. The crops were to identify very clean and white teeth.

Fine images, I enjoy the Wolf Encounter at the Cleveland zoo.

Not sure how you got these but they a wonderful. National Geographic?

Jim-Pops,
Luck of Location one would say.
The Brookfield Zoo has had its ups and downs so to speak though over the last few years there have been positive changes. The Wolf's on exhibit are part of a large recovery project for the Mexican Grey Wolf.

I appreciate the kind words.

Really nice - although they look like they might want to eat you!

sb,
Thanks for the response, there were 2 burlap bags that contained some bones, so they had easier opportunities then me.

Wonderful photos. Thanks for sharing. The next time I go to Brookfield, I'll have to make sure it's during the Winter.

Fascinating stuff - this, Mike ... so, the one with the rather large tuft taken out of her fur on the left foreleg is Zana - is it?

Gee!!! ... Wish I could be there ... I'd try to get her autograph!!!
