Sorry for having been too lazy to upload something here.
This is one of my favourite pictures I took two weeks ago in ZOOM Gelsenkirchen. The little pack of three adult wolves living there is already an older one, though for some reason they never had pups until last year. Unfortunately their very first pup died for reasons the park wasn't able to figure out when she was about 5 months old. Humanly speaking it seemed like the wolves found it to be worth another try and this year they got three lovely little rascals.

Let me tell you, there's nothing more heartwarming in this world than seeing wolves caring for their young. The two daddies Hardy and Manley are so fond of them, as soon as the pups stayed a bit too long in their den, they walked up to it and whimpered into the den to get them out. When the pups came out they'd throw themselves to the ground and let the little ones crawl all over them. Especially Hardy, the silver one in this photo just endured everything they would do happily.
Only their mother Cheyenne tried to avoid them, but as she already had to deal with them in the den for a month it was understandable that she was a bit fed up.

Side-Fact:
Hardy used to be just as black as his pups when he was young.

drawing references, or private things that's okay with me. You don't
have to note me, but giving credit would be a fair appreciation. And
feel free to show me what you do with my photos, I'd love to see it!
