 | Unknown | Gray wolf with no collar approaches a bison from the Wapiti pack | Hayden Valley | This is not my photo, it is Ron Coleman’s or my grandpa and he gave me permission to post this to the site. He drove up to Hayden valley from gros ventre campground near Grand Teton National Park, and saw this wolf across the Yellowstone river from the road. He then saw two collared blacks and another in collared gray near it later, but this was the coolest photo from the encounter despite only showing one of the wolves so I decided to post this. | ||||
