This page features some photos
from the other group on Thursday. This group went to the
eastern part of the park and picked up a wolf trail in the
vicinity of Whitefish lake. |

Wolf scat. As mentioned
previously in this report, scat is an important clue for
trackers in helping to identify animals. Note the hair in
this scat. Wolves are predators - they eat other animals.. |

Since no one actually got a
photo of a wolf, here are a couple courtesy of Brent
Patterson. This is a photo of the Sunday Lake pack in
Algonquin. |

Addendum: The wolf researcher
(who gave us the presentation in the morning) also had a
moose leg bone she had found. This is a view of the marrow
inside the bone. Note how red and watery (frozen) it
appears. This indicates that the moose was at the end of its
energy reserves and was not very strong or healthy. |

The jawbone of the same moose.
The teeth are not very worn, indicating this to be a
relatively young moose. |
