Wolf and Grizzly family sighting

On Monday Sam and I went out for a drive just to get out and kill some time, and it turned out to be a great call.  We weren't even expecting to see anything amazing, since the area we were driving through usually is only home to scattered groups of bison.  First we came upon some cars pulled off and just stopped in the middle of the road, and looking around we saw a lone white wolf in the field below the road.  We stayed and watched the wolf as it stalked around and dug up moles to eat.  It soon came up the hill the road was on and crossed up to the hill above us.  We got some good pictures so check those out.  After the wolf was out of view, we continued up the road barely 1/2 a mile when we came upon even more cars pulled off.  Our first thoughts were, MORE WOLVES?!?!  But it turned out to be a grizzly with two cubs, and it was pretty awesome to watch them walking across the meadow.  We really can't believe how many bears we have been seeing around so far this year, some people from previous seasons even say that they haven't seen this many before.  Just as many people haven't even seen wolves either, especially not in this area where we are living.  The wolves are usually more north of us in a place called the Lamar Valley.  The weather is really starting to get beautiful, spring is definitely in the air here in Yellowstone.  We have been having nice high 50s and 60 degree days, but it still gets pretty chilly at night.  The snow is starting to melt off, and the lake has started to thaw.  Sam will post later on a update about our jobs, beginning work and other such things.
  Here are a few pictures of the wolf and grizzly family, as well as some local reptiles:
