Ethiopian Wolf

[Ignacio Yufera]

Endemic to the mountains of Ethiopia and in serious danger, less than 500 survive in fragmented populations. Although they look a little fox-like, they are closely related to timber wolves.

Shot at the Sineti Plateau, Bale Mountains, at 4,000m altitude.

great portrait... lovely pose and lighting ,interesting FG, the OOF BG really adds to isolation of subject..
well done, would love to have the opportunity to photograph these wonderful wolves..

Indeed, a very nice portrait. The foreground almost looks B/W if you didn't see the occasional flower heads. The word 'wolf' does conjure more the American version rather than this, which I do agree looks more fox like, or perhaps Dingo(?)

Fine looking animal and love the setting, light is nice and soft giving lots of detail and good colors !! Just fine for me as presented !!

Esta majisimo!
Gorgoeus lookoing creature with perfect pose and head angle in a very nice habitat. The yellow flowers lend a very nice touch. If I were to change anything, would be a sliver off the left, totally subjective. Enhorabuena, congratulations :)

Just seeing one of these is close to a miracle, then capturing a great image, I can say nothing but CONGRATULATIONS.

Hi
What a gorgeous image! The subject is nicely exposed and really stands out especially with the almost monochromatic effect of the scrub around it! Congrats!!
