Although this may be a somewhat disturbing scene to some. It's a scene that represents wild animals doing what they need to do to survive. Sometimes animals are given exaggerated reputations. In the case of the wolf their reputations seem to be overblown on both sides of the fence. Some are overly negative portraying them as bloodthirsty monsters that kill for fun and offer great threats to humans. Others in my opinion are overly-idealistic making wolves out to be these mystical creatures that prance through the forest that wouldn't harm another creature. To me wolves are just animals trying to make their way in the world. They kill to survive and in turn allow the survival of countless other animals that feed on their kills. They keep populations of other animals in check. They are an extremely important part of the ecosystem Keeping things in balance. Anyways, I just like this photo because I feel like it portrays a pretty realistic look at the wolf.
