Unfortunately blue-eyedby *woxys

Arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos, vlk arkticky) from ZOO Brno, Czech republic

Here you can see first photos of baby wolf puppies born in 2011 - [link]

Story of the photo: I think this young wolf is "Vlčenka" - me and *Allerlei gave this lovely nickname to young female, who was extremely friendly and attention seeking. She loved to make people look at her - I have never seen similar wolf! But one day I saw a young wolf with a strange injury over the eye area. The wolf was somehow much more quiet, not interacting at all. I think it was Vlčenka - I do not know what happened, if the injury was caused by some accident, by other wolves or by stupid visitors. But after some time, wound was healed. Unfortunately, the eye stays milky-blue, so I suppose this young wolf is half-blind. The good new is, that during my last visits, this wolf seemed to me somehow happier again... But I still miss our attention seeking Vlčenka.

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
