Wolf

The Veluwe is a forest-rich ridge of hills in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands. The Veluwe features many different landscapes, including woodland, heath, some small lakes and Europe's largest sand drifts. Since 2019 the wolf is officially back with a female and male pair in the northern Veluwe who had their offspring in the summer of 2019 and one female wolf in middle Veluwe. The prognosis are that many more wolves will reclaim the area.

Gates Of The Arctic National Park

Scenic rivers wind through this pristine Alaskan wilderness where mountains, alpine lakes, boreal forests, and glacial cirques create a majestic landscape north of the Arctic Circle.

Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve is an American national park that protects portions of the Brooks Range in northern Alaska. The park is the northernmost national park in the United States, situated entirely north of the Arctic Circle. The park is characterized by rugged peaks, glaciated arctic valleys, wild and scenic rivers, and many lakes. Foothills become waves of mountain peaks rising to elevations of 4,000 feet, with the tallest limestone and granite ridges reaching over 7,000 feet. The landscape is covered by sparse black spruce forests, boreal forest, and arctic tundra. The park contains major portions of the range and habitat of the Western Arctic caribou herd. Moose, Dall sheep, wolverines, wolves, and grizzly and black bears also inhabit the land.

Gray Wolf

Gray Wolf (Timber Wolf) Canis Lupis. This magnificent animal is often misunderstood as an indiscriminate killer. Not true! While the wolf does kill some large game, it is mostly the old, the weak and the diseased that are taken.

Canada supports the second largest gray wolf population in the world, after Russia. Wolf habitat is diverse in this large country where, historically, wolves ranged in most areas. Wolves are territorial. Each pack occupies an area that it will defend against intruders.

Thanks a lot for this amazing card Linda.
