This is the lake dividing North Campus from the rest of campus. These are the gorges I need to walk across each day. Here was the beginning of our Sunday adventure. We walked around Beebe Lake before we moved onto other areas of campus.

You can see the foot bridge and the big bridge behind it.
Today we had a wonderful demonstration by Mission Wolf, based in Colorado. Today was their 20th year doing shows at Cornell.
This guy and his wife adopted captive-born wolves that were pets or movie animals, or unwanted by zoos. They made a big reserve for the wolves and take them around the country for public outreach.
The wolfies are tame and allow people to pet them! They're very sweet.
I'm sorry my pictures are blurry but my camera does not work well in low light/no flash.
You MUST look at the videos. The pictures are clearer and you can see their yellow eyes! So pretty.
This is Magpie. She's the oldest and adopted the little wolf, Iliana. She's a Canada gray wolf, 6 years old.
This is Abraham. He's a wolf/dog hybrid but they don't know what dog he has. He's the silliest and most social. 3 years old. He's the size of a Mexican wolf.
Keep in mind that wolves have larger heads, narrow elbows, tails that do not touch the ground, and snowshoe paws. They have big feet!
This is the puppy Iliana. You won't believe it but he just turned 6 months old! He's pure Arctic wolf, so he's bigger than the rest of the wolves.
Just so you know, Arctic, Red, and Timber wolves are ALL GRAY WOLVES. They are just different sizes and colors because they live in different environments.
This is Abraham saying hello to the audience. He sat on everybody in the first row. You could definitely tell he is half dog.
This is daddy wolf telling the puppy who's boss.
Here is a video of their vocalizations, but the picture is blurry.
What a pretty wolfie. There is a clear difference between Magpie and Abraham, the half wolf. Magpie's head was huge.
