A subspecies of the gray wolf, the Mexican gray wolf is commonly known as "El lobo" A group is a pack or route. They are in Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Mexico.
Mexican gray wolves are a very social species. The packs have complex social structures, including the alpha male and female, the breeding pair, with their offspring. The others in the pack are “helpers.” The hierarchy of dominant and subordinate individuals enables the unit to work.
Wolves' territory could be 30 square miles up to more than 500. They define their territory with scent markings and vocalizations such as barks, growls, and their legendary howl. Packs in regions such as the desert where typically prey is small may have 7 or fewer members, up to 30 or more where the prey is large.

My artist’s statement is “Capturing the JoyEful Party Animals Spirit©. Bringing awareness to wildlife conservation.” One of my favorite legends is the story of the good and bad wolves. We have the choice of which one we feed. It is my hope this painting will bring awareness to the endangered Mexican Gray Wolves.
