Hi there! I'm doing research on a Montana Buffalo Wolf supposedly given to the London Zoo by a Lord Auckland in the 1920s, who purchased the wolf from Dr. E. H. McCleery who kept Buffalo Wolves at a "wolf park" in Kane, Pennsylvania. Could you please tell me where you found this photo of the Montana Buffalo Wolf, and if you have any further information on it? I would very much like to confirm if this is the wolf I am researching.

Thank you so much!

Kirstin,
I don't think I can be much help, but I think it is the wolf you reference. I purchased the photo(a reprint) at a swap meet in San Antonio, Texas in 2009.

Wade,

Thank you very much for your reply! I appreciate your help. Would you allow me to repost the photo of the Montana Buffalo Wolf on my website (http://mccleerywolves.com/) with credit to you and a link to your blog? It is the only photo I have seen of her specifically, and I would very much appreciate it!

Thank you so much!
