Thanks Don. That's one of the two brothers we got from the Columbus Zoo. They're two years old and still growing. Beautiful cats in a new large and natural habitat.

Very nice, great detail. Love the eagle stare!
Thanks for your comment Bill. Since you mentioned the eagle, he's from Alaska where he flew into a high-power line and is missing part of his right wing. Came to the zoo when he was an immature eagle.

The wolf looks beaten down by man. They are all beautiful creatures.
Thanks for viewing, lnewcome. Not sure what you mean by "beaten down". Both were born in captivity, one in Canada and the other in Minnesota. Since they can't survive in the wild, they are at the zoo in a two-acre habitat that's partially meadow and partially wooded. They certainly are beautiful creatures, loved by the visitors and great for educating the public about wolves.
