Species: Timber wolf (Canis lupus) | Location: Colorado, United States of America
This black timber wolf (Canis lupus) was rescued and brought to the Colorado Wolf & Wildlife Center, an animal sanctuary. While these animals can't be released back into the "wild" on account of their extreme habituation to humans, they have wonderful lives in communion with other rescued wolves. I had the honor of spending time with and photographing six wolves there. Their sociable and intelligent natures were a reminder of the shared past they have with our beloved "man's best friend". This particular individual, with his alert gaze and athletic stance, seemed to epitomize the very essence of a "wolf".
