shadow – Jan 28, 2011 12:00 AM

We have some beautiful photography of Shadow this week. A light snowfall (well it started light, now we have 8 inches on the ground), and a layer of snow in the trees make a great backdrop for this subspecies. Of all the subspecies, the arctic wolves certainly look at home in these conditions. Shadow did a lot of "Stand Tall" postures today, which is a show of confidence when a wolf stands on a high vantage point and extends their body as high as their legs will allow. It is impressive to observe, and the body posture is clear, but what is more impressive is the look of confidence in his face. Shadow portrays this well and pictures can't express what we are honored to observe as wolf care staff.
