Creator Transcript
  • Canis lupus. [underlined] Athabasca Falls. July 6/45. [1945] Today examined a wolf den found by Frank Wells a month ago. It was about 1/2 mile S. [south] of the Beaver Lodge den + situated under a huge rock, part of an outcrop. Near by was another burrow used at one time as a den + in use in early June as a retreat. 50 ft [feet] away under another large rock was a shallow cavern, also large enough to accommodate 2 or 3 adult wolves in comfort + dryness. The den entered down a short slope, the tunnel 18" [inches] x 16" [inches]+/- ran in about 7 ft [feet]. No bed of any sort was at the end of it The cubs were in it when first found. Some 30 yards away is a large rock slide of huge boulders + everywhere about it was evidence that the pups had spent many days in + around these rocks + crevices In Well's second visit here 3 weeks ago the pups, at least 4 of them were seen among the lower rocks. Scats were abundant along the lower edge
