Description Lobo, alpha male Eurasian grey wolf (canis lupus lupus, vlk obecnΓ½ eurasijskΓ½) from ZOO Prague, Czech republic


Story of the photo: after Atila, Lobo is my the most favourite male - and I managed to take acceptable photo of him after some TWO years! I like him. Compared to Atila, he is much more aggressive and less peaceful leader. He is very dominant and he knows how to make order other members respect him a lot. Lobo is easy to be recognized - he is very dark, almost black on his back - and his hips and paws are ginger. Oh, Lobo!



My friend *Allerlei took this awesome photo of Lobo:

INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:

Name: Eurasian grey wolf (canis lupus lupus)
Location: Eurasia (From Europe, to China and Russia)
Size: 1.6 m long + 50 cm tail, 100 cm high weight: 80 kg
Diet: medium sized ungulates (moufflon, chamois, saiga, wild boar, red deer, roe deer and livestock), smaller prey (frogs, mice, hares) but also fruit
Conservation status: Least Concern in general. But in some countries, there are only few animals. For example in the Czech republic, there are only some 15 Eurasian wolves, so wolves are critically endangered in my country.
Interesting facts: wolves live in the packs with strict hierarchy. Only alpha male and alpha female mate. Femalethen gives birth to 4-7 cubs. Mother and father both take care of them and then whole the pack helps them to rise the pups | wolves were exctinct in the Czech republic, as people successfully killed them all. Now, wolves are slowly returning from Slovakia and some 15 wolves live in Beskydy mountains. Unfortunately, some people still want to kill them, because they are afraid of wolves | fear of wolves is officially called Little Red Riding Hood syndrome | Eurasian wolves are very adaptable | their colourings vary a lot. | wolves have important roles in many myths, legends and fairy tales. They fascinate people.

Sorry for Lobos, he was so beautiful. The ginger coloring was so unique!! really reminded me of a red wolf, yet you said he was a grey, so cool! This picture of him is stunning and really portrays his "aggressive" attitude as an alpha perfectly.

This wolf looks a lot like a wolf-dog at a sanctuary I visit sometimes. Only she has one blue eye and one gold eye.

I am sure, I study political science

Most of my photos were taken with just digital camera Canon Powershot S5 IS, but I bought Canon 500D and kit lens 18-55 IS and 55-250 IS months ago

woxys In reply to QueensideRook [2011-01-26 06:21:37 +0000 UTC]

after Lobo, famous wolf from America

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

QueensideRook In reply to woxys [2011-01-26 06:27:41 +0000 UTC]

I was referring to the fact that lobo is the Spanish word for wolf. It was before there was even anyone in America who spoke Spanish. And even if it was named after another wolf named Lobo, why was the original named Lobo? It just seems a bit odd.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

woxys In reply to QueensideRook [2011-01-26 10:49:24 +0000 UTC]

I know that lobo is wolf in Spanish
Well, somebody simply named famous American wolf Lobo, using this Spanish word and this Lobo was named after legendary Lobo a bit odd, yes
