Torak, a male European wolf at the UK Wolf Conservation Trust ([link]), is pretty shy of humans, especially males. At the photographic day, he wouldn't come anywhere near the photographers :D

So this is one of the few more or less nice shots of him, unfortunately the sun was not out at that time and because I was shooting with the 70-200 lens, I had to do a radical crop for this, this is almost 100%. I'm sure glad the lens preserves a nice sharpness at 100% for sure...

I might crop it differently in the future, for the surrounding grass and trees are quite beautiful too, but for now that's what I came up with - especially at the low upload resolution, Torak would get kind of lost in the picture at wider crops.

lovely shot & it's better they are scared of you then think of you as food plus it's safer for them as well cause many people would shot them w/ a gun not a camera

Wolves don't think of humans as food. But the latter is very true.

i have heard of times when wolves have tried to take people as food but it's usually a desperate loner i guess a pack wouldn't bother

Torak is a nightmare to photograph, and yet he's the most beautiful of them all! Lovely photo, this is seriously gorgeous :D

Great shot! Torak is probably the most difficult wolf to take pictures of out of all the wolves there, he wouldnt come anywhere near me when i tried to get a photo! :D
