The red wolf you see pictured above was at the Salisbury Zoo in Maryland many years ago. There were several barriers between me and the wolf which made it hard to capture a clear image. The time of year was fall. We were on a Thanksgiving trip. The zoo was a pleasant side trip. Since this time I have read a little about the Red Wolf which is native to the U.S. They are listed as critically endangered and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has a recovery program. They were monitored at the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in eastern North Carolina. Lately I have been reading reports in both AP(Associated Press) news and ABC news about the success of restoring the red wolf population.This is encouraging news.
Since I recently mentioned peacocks in my previous thoughts about butterfly eye spots, I decided to show a peacock (or peafowl) from the same zoo (Salisbury, Maryland). The picture is from the same trip. I was disappointed it would not open its feathers for me.
