Wolf
Canis lupus
Aug 5 East Ammalik, 110 mi. SSE Barrow, Alaska
Large canid tracks have been seen throughout
the camp and along the streams, so that
it was not too surprising to see the
animal along the stream at the east of camp.
We were cutting across a meander so
he did not see or hear us until we
were about 100 yds away. He jumped up
the bank & stopped on the bluff and looked
at us so that I had time to load a ball
shot into the 16 gauge but the shot went
high. The wolf ran and was across the
next ox-bar before we got over the rise.
