Wildlife Expeditions offers ecofriendly adventures led by local biologist utilizing comfortable vehicles that have been customized with roof hatches and sliding windows for responsible wildlife observation. The biologists go beyond serving as guides and take the role of teacher very seriously as they hone their skills over the years in Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Wolves typically breed in late January or early February with pups arriving in April. In May the pups emerge from the den and begin to explore their surroundings. As the summer months pass the pups begin to travel with the pack and are sometimes led to the pack’s rendezvous site where wolves socialize. Often times the pups are left at the rendezvous sight with a year old wolf as the rest of the pack heads off to hunt. As September and October approach, the wolf pups start to get their permanent teeth, develop their first winter coats and begin exploring the area with the wolf pack. This is the perfect opportunity see wolves by participating in Fall Elk Bugling, Wolves and Bears Expedition.
Expeditions focus on Yellowstone’s Famous Lamar and Hayden Valleys, spectacular regions of centralized predator activity. The Lamar Canyon wolf pack has been especially visible throughout the summer with the alpha female proving to be an excellent hunter. She has returned often to the rendezvous site to regurgitate meat for the pups. Bears often hunt in these same areas making Fall Elk Bugling, Wolves and Bears Expeditions a unique experience for wildlife viewing.
