No matter how controversial the re-introduction of Wolves into Yellowstone is, to be able to not only see them, but to photograph a small group is a huge thrill.

It’s the only park I have ever been to that not only have I seen all five of the Big Five (Lion, Leopard, African Buffalo, White Rhino and African Elephant) in, but seen them all on the same day. The park also has Cheetahs and Painted Wolves (and while I didn’t see the later, they are fairly reliable). Or Cheetahs.
