Dennis Fast > GRAY WOLF STALK. The combination of a stalking pose and fresh snow falling lend an air of realism to this photo even in a captive situation. You don't really want to be the object of that stalk; but I have been followed by wild wolves without being threatened by them. They are masters at keeping out of site while keeping you in view at all times.
Dennis Fast > ON THE RUN The gray wolf possesses an easy lope that can carry him tirelessly for many miles. Once locked on his prey, he will simply wear it down into submission.
Dennis Fast > GRAY WOLVES Although wolves seem to love to show their teeth and snap them a lot, they seldom really bite and hurt each other. Most of it is posturing for superiority or some annoyance of the moment. With all the close body contact they indulge in, it's not surprising that tense moments arise.
Dennis Fast > THE STARE. I seldom leave large unfocused areas near the foreground of my photographs, but I made an exception here. I think the blurry wolf in the front adds a slightly sinister element to the stare down. Coupled with the low point of view, it also makes me feel as if I am the wolf returning the stare.
Dennis Fast > GRAY WOLF. Perhaps a wolf like this is what greeted Little Red Riding Hood in the infamous story from our childhood. At any rate, we learned to fear the wolf early in our lives instead of appreciating its beauty and intelligence.
Dennis Fast > GRAY WOLF IN SNOWSTORM. I love to photograph birds and animals when snow is coming down. The quiet atmosphere produces a feeling of oneness with nature and its creatures that brings peace to the soul. I am afraid that modern man has lost his sense of place in the wilderness. We should all get out more often when snow is falling.
Dennis Fast > THE WATCHER. Wolves, and other wild animals, have a knack for disguising themselves when they don't want to be seen. A frequent trick is to keep their eyes covered by branches to avoid their telltale roundness from showing. When this wolf peered out from the willows, I quickly moved to the right and knelt down for this photo to keep the twigs from crossing his eyes. It is exactly the way I have been stared at by animals in the wild who were trying not to be seen.
Dennis Fast > FEMALE GRAY WOLF. You can almost always recognize the alpha female and male in a pack because they are the ones carrying their tails above the horizontal most of the time. Any other wolf daring to do so would quickly be put in its place.
Dennis Fast > THE HUNTER Lynx, like most cats, are solitary creatures. Although they are extremely quick and adept at chasing down smaller prey, they also are known to jump on their victims from an elevated position.
GRAY WOLF STALK.
