Grey wolves are extremely stealthy creatures! They hunt in packs by outrunning and outlasting ungulate prey. This little grey wolf’s diet will include animals TWICE its size including bison, moose, and elk. Wolves also hunt smaller mammals like beavers, rodents, and hares.
Did you also know that grey wolves are excellent communicators?! They use their body language, scent marking, and noises such as growling, barking, and howling to convey messages to one another. For example, a pack will howl to solidify pack bonds and warn other wolf packs to stay away from the territory.
We hope to see this little grey wolf pop up on our camera traps more often!

Introducing our newest Grizzly Gulch resident!
In November 2022, we asked for your help in naming our resident Grizzly Gulch bobcat. Although it was a split decision between all names, our winner is…drumroll please 🥁…
SHADOW!
Shadow has spent quite a lot of time exploring the Grizzly Gulch refuge. He tends to frequent areas where water and lots of brush are nearby. Bobcats are very stealthy species and are rarely ever spotted while out on the Creature Trail. But, thanks to the hidden Grizzly Gulch camera traps, we’ve been lucky enough to spot Shadow a few times and introduce him to all of you!
Stay tuned for more awesome updates about Shadow and all of our other Grizzly Gulch residents!

Hey Wild Alliance! Chris and Martin here to help kick off this spring with your first Creature Hero challenge of 2023!
We challenge you to use your Creature Planting Powers to build a garden in your backyard or community space! This garden can be as big or small as you like. Once you have planted your seeds and spotted the first signs of sprouting, send photos along with one fact about each plant you chose to add to your garden to info@creaturehero.org!
We have added a few awesome examples above of gardens that other Creature Heroes have made in their backyard for inspiration.
Let the planting begin!

These images were taken by Grizzly Gulch’s camera trap network. These cameras are positioned at strategic wildlife hubs at the refuge and are activated when they detect motion.
Make sure to build your pollinator garden with an adult!

Karl, our Grizzly Gulch Creaturefuge Manager, sees these magnificent creatures almost daily! Even Grizzly bears enjoy letting loose and having a little extra playtime throughout the day!
