Island photographer captures pictures of wolves and bears on North Island

Megan Hanacek, a professional biologist, says it is quite rare to be able to take a picture of a bear and a wolf together on Vancouver Island.got a message from a friend on the North Island that wolves were spotted, he headed right up with the hopes of taking pictures of them, and while he did succeed in doing so, he also captured something a biologist says is quite rare.

Heith and his friend headed up on Saturday, and he says he sees bears in the area quite frequently, but it is less common to see wolves so he was excited to head out to see if they could find them. Geoff Heith says two wolves left after they spotted him and his friend, but one circled back to look at them.

Geoff Heith says he often takes pictures of bears in the area near Port Hardy, but doesn’t see wolves very often. Hanacek says she has lived on northern Vancouver Island for over 40 years and in that time has only seen two wolves. Hanacek echoes this saying especially when photographing predators, it’s important to take safety precautions.

So generous of Geoff Heith to share the story and photos

Hope they remain safe.
