These photos were taken one week before five of the six wolves escaped. One returned to the enclosure, one was shot with a tranquiliser dart but three had to be shot by marksmen. Unfortunately, an anaesthetic dart takes 15 minutes to take effect and may not work at all in a stressed animal so the wolves that were a danger to the public had to be shot. Very sad, beautiful animals, just doing what wolves do.

Another shot from the wolves, they were quite violently fighting in the snow, but no blood because it's rare that this happens within the members of one pack. But well, I think that wasn't only play, more some dominance thing.
Anyway, that was impressive and even if I couldn't catch it very well, I hope that you like this shot! :)
