I love that strategical move this wolves have. They are just adorable when they move. So carefully, each step is carefully taken step. Like an action plan. Very corporate behavior.

I love wolfs, more than any other animals on earth. Faithful. Clever. Look at this stare ! Fascinating.
Lucky you !

@zOOm: Yes, I was very lucky and thrilled to see them.
@Veronelle: Wolves are not so dangerous to people. They get a bad rap. Thanks. Glad you like it.

Totally awesome and totally scary all at the same time. Love the markings on the one that is giving the stare.

@mariana: Thanks. Only bears and big cats are predators of humans. Wolf are not so dangerous to man (or photographers). ;-)
Kathe from Marquette, Michigan, United States
Absolutely wonderful photos! I agree that wolves are not so dangerous. I'd be more afraid of a raccoon than I would a wolf - or even more than a bear or big cat. *LOL*
Are these all captive wolves?

@Kathe: They are in a sanctuary with lots of room to roam or get away from someone with a camera. ;-)
@dik: Thanks for your comment.

Steven from Chicagoland, United States
I would not have wanted to be you given the looks on their faced that you have captured. :-|

Beautiful animals, but then, I love anything that looks like a dog.
