I agree Jenny the wolf is looking pretty thin. Maybe feeding a family at the moment. Great image and storyline, glad you were given the opportunity to see and capture a wolf.

Thank you Yves... amazing that salmon is their major diet in the fall.

Clifford Dupuis

This is an awesome opportunity, lucky you for capturing this great shot which shows the hard life they have just to survive. Great storyline as well.

I rarely see wolves. It was a thrill for me. I wish he had more meat on him. Thank you

Description
This lone wolf was walking along the shoreline in The Khutzeymateen Estuary. I thought he could use a good meal. There are actually two types of coastal wolves, island coastal wolves and mainland coastal wolves. Both coastal wolf populations rely heavily on seafood, particularly salmon and other fish, for their diet and are proficient swimmers because of that. They’ve also been seen foraging for barnacles and clams, hunting otters, and scavenging whale and seal carcasses.
