The eyes of the wolf
Has tales to tell,
The legends and lore
He knows so well.
From survival and feasting
On the vast plain,
From blinding blizzards
And torrential rain.
They have seen it all
As the Indians have,
Almost extinct
As the buffalo calf.
Beautiful creatures
Who stand with pride,
Few do live
And most have died.
His last request
Is a howl at the moon,
Telling his brothers
We'll be extinct real soon.
If you look into his eyes
You will see a tear,
His howl he bellows
Is all you will hear.
If mankind would stop
And try to save,
The wolf would flourish
Again one day.
Let's save these beautiful
Mystical eyes,
To tell more tales
That are so wise.

Maya, a Great Plains subspecies of the gray wolf, was born on May 5, 2004 and was a littermate to Grizzer. She matured to an adult female weight of 80 lbs. She was best described as the predator of the pack, if something is in quick motion, Maya was sure to track it and pounce.
Maya was euthanized Tuesday, March 1st, 2011 after a veterinary determination that a compound fracture and dislocation to her left hind leg could not be repaired. The decision to euthanize Maya was made in accordance with requirements of the USDA Animal Welfare Act and an organizational euthanasia policy approved by the Center’s Vet Care Team. Maya's death was a tragic loss and the dominance displayed by Maya will not be forgotten. She was a pack leader, and showed her status despite her smaller size.
