Very young Arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos, vlk arkticky) from ZOO Brno, Czech republic :D

Story of the photo: this youngster looks pretty angry, right? :D in fact, it was very friendly, it came close to me, posing for camera. Then it yawned and as animal yawning is always interesting, I was shooting like crazy. In the last phase of yawning, wolves always show teeth and if you manage to capture it, you gain photo of "very angry wolf" :giggle: so this is only only illusion :D after it stopped yawning, the pup gave me nice smiles again :D now I await hate comments "stop torturing the poor wolf" from those who are lazy to read the description :XD:


Thank you for your comments and faves :hug:

INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:

Name: Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos)
Location: Canadian Arctic and the northern parts of Greenland

Diet: Caribou, musk oxen, Arctic Hares, seals, ptarmigan, lemmings. Arctic wolves eat all their prey, also its bones and fur
Conservation status: common. They still live in the whole of its original range, because local conditions are too extreme for humans.
Interesting facts: mother gives birth to some 2-3 pups in May. Pups are born almost black – as they get older, colour of their fur turns to white. Adults are completely white, even in summer | arctic wolves live in the pack of some 7-10 members. Only alpha male and alpha female mate | arctic wolves have shorter ears and nose than other wolves species. They also have thicker fur, shorter legs | they do not run too fast, their advantage is persistence

It's not angry, it just sucks at making fake smiles for the camera XD Awesome photo. You captured the perfect moment where the teeth show but the rest of the face is completely relaxed.

if it were really angry, the eyes would be more open, right? but it looks much creepier with the eyes narrow like this (still looks cuddly to me *giggle*)
