I would like to know how you can take such a beautiful picture of an animal without them moving, because I have tried to do this with wild wolves on my cousins land and right when I get ready to take the picture they move and mess it all up. (but still, great photography though)Β

If there are only 30 in the wild, and 17 in captivity, can they be saved? It seems like that would be too low a number to repopulate without genetic issues.
