The Glance

Spending just over a week with coastal wolves on a remote beach in British Columbia is an experience difficult to put into words. They are highly intelligent animals incredibly aware of their surroundings. Although I photographed this image from a blind, there was no hiding. She was well aware of my presence. With a nose upwards of 100 times more sensitive than that of a human, you don't hide from a wild wolf. The blind did however keep me contained. The wolf was part of a 14 member pack and she came close to satisfy her curiosity. After a minute or two, she continued her patrol down the beach.
