Wolf Pair in Winter
A wolf pack moves across a frozen lake. In the snowy haze, only the two closest animals can be seen. The big one is a black wolf - an Alpha male - looking out for prey or perhaps danger. His pose suggests health and confidence. Over his shoulder his companion has noticed the viewer, but there is no expression of threat or fear. These are wolves as they should be - wild and free - masters of their own domain. - Robert Bateman
