    Nice Knight. Arctic wolf? You live that far north? Sounds a bit too cold for my blood, but looks like you get to see a lot of great things.

    Nice job Knight. Something you don't see everyday where I live.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    This is a captive wolf

    Don't confuse that as somebody's pet(though it may be in a way). I don't think the arctic wolf ever lived in the lower 48, but they are kept here by people who further the species.

    Your right Paulnj it is a captive Wolf , i tought i made it clear when i posted that it was from a Nature Reserve . This guy has his terrain in the parc so he roams it semi free with his pack. As for real wild wolf`s theres plenty around were i live ,it`s just that they are realy hard to Photograph . They tend to be shy and avoid people .

    Nice image, Knight. I like how he's not looking directly at you - like you caught him in a casual moment. I also like how you framed it with space above him to imply an openness to the setting.
