Timber Wolf taken at Omega Park.
I had the opportunity to watch this wolf as she moved along the shoreline at low tide in the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Sanctuary, BC, Canada.

We saw a couple wolves today in Yellowstone Park. They don't really pay much attention to people, which is understandable. There is a group of people who watch the wolves daily - summer and winter.
"Fierce is she with flowing mane
No stranger to feel or witness pain
Fast she stands with shield in hand
Defender of her sacred lands
And full prepared to bring an end
To any who would dare offend
With shaft of glistening, speeding light
Fired from bow with deadly sight
The Maiden stands tall and proud
Battle Roar long and loud"

Wolf Lichen (Letharia vulpina) grows on trees along the Nimpo Lake Community Trails west of Nimpo Lake, British Columbia, Canada.
Chocolate and Hazelnut sponge packed with Wolf-berries.
Topped with dark chocolate butter cream icing and red sea salt.
Wolf-Berries, or Goji Berries if you prefer are very good for you, packed with Anti-oxidants, whatever they are supposed to be?
So disregarding the chocolate, butter, sugar and salt one can eat as many of these as one likes :))
Bonus!
This beautiful animal was photographed at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. 1st place photo, Color Photography Division, Animals Category, 2016 Yuba-Sutter County Fair.
Some asked what the wolf looked like before the post processing so am just placing this here for you to see. No need to comment. Turned the comments off. THANKS
One of the greatest things I've got to experience since moving to North America is to actually hear a pack of wolves howl once in Yellowstone. Wow!
Why wolf moon?
A single wolf's howl lasts a few seconds, which for most of the year is what you hear, a single wolf communicating with its pack, something like "wait up, I've got to run to the loo".
However, a chorus by a pack can last a couple of minutes and longer. Packs tend to howl together during the breeding season in January and February, to communicate with other packs, basically "bugger off, this territory is ours". So wolves are particularly loud and vocal in the first months of the year, which is probably why people associate the month of January with howling wolves.
There's no evidence that wolves howl at the moon, but they do howl up into the sky, and so looking as if they are would be howling at the moon is a short trip for anyone's imagination to take.

Vitae: The native habitat of the arctic wolf - a.k.a. the white wolf - is in cold places including the northern part of Greenland, the Canadian Arctic islands, and parts of Alaska. Adult arctic wolves will find a den, and then make chambers for them and their young. Where this species of wolf lives is very harsh and remote. They experience long and dark winters with almost five months out of the year in complete darkness. An individual arctic/white wolf typically avoids other wolves.. unless they are looking for a mate.

The grey wolf or gray wolf (Canis lupus), also known as the timber wolf or simply wolf, is a mammal of the order Carnivora. The gray wolf is the largest wild member of the Canidae family and an ice age survivor originating during the Late Pleistocene around 300,000 years ago. DNA sequencing and genetic drift studies indicate that the gray wolf shares a common ancestry with the domestic dog, (Canis lupus familiaris) and might be its ancestor. A number of other gray wolf subspecies have been identified, though the actual number of subspecies is still open to discussion. Gray wolves are typically apex predators in the ecosystems they occupy. Gray wolves are highly adaptable and have thrived in temperate forests, deserts, mountains, tundra, taiga, grasslands, and even urban areas. (Wikipedia), Wolf, 2008
