Very awesome, reminds me the Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus) from my country

Very exciting Marc. I'm contemplating going the conservation biology route instead of just Marine Biology since I love land animals as well as ocean dwelling. Sight's like this just motivate me that much more.

This wolf was solo. It was an exceptional experience seeing the wolf this close, as I was on one side of my Beijing Jeep and the wolf was not 20m away! The number of wolf sightings has been increasing annually over the time I have been working in the Tibetan plateau region, since the mid '90s.
