USGS Multimedia Gallery: Downward Facing Wolf

Title: Downward Facing Wolf

Description:

Adho mukha svanasana is the Sanskrit name for the downward facing dog yoga asana and this wolf shows how the pose got its name. The wolf's eyes, muzzle and paw tips are warm and yellow in this thermal image of a captive wolf at the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone. USGS scientists are examining thermal imagery of wolves as one step in assessing impacts of sarcoptic mange on the survival, reproduction and social behavior of this species in Yellowstone National Park. All research animals are handled by following the specific requirements of USGS Animal Care and Use policies.
