Eastern Timber Wolf

This timber wolf belongs to a pack of timber wolves, who had - for different reasons - to be raised by hand. That made the animals so familiar with humans that they've lost their natural shyness. Therefor, they can't be brought back to living wildly. Now they live in the game reserve at Springe, Germany, making a really good job of educating people that wolves aren't "bad".

  Thanks for your comment, Karin. Me too, I don't believe there are animals who are "bad" in themselves. That's why I highly appreciate the work that is done in such reserves, rearing stations, centers for environmental education and so forth. Posted 13 years ago
