Strike a pose
HILARIOUS IMAGES of a cheeky wolf larking around in the snow have been captured.
Pictures show the grey and white coloured European wolf winking at the camera, posing up against a tree, striking a model pose before flashing its million-dollar smile for the photographer at the Krasny Bor National Park in Belarus.
The Central European Wolf has a similar appearance to German shepherd dogs, with a shoulder height of around 2.6 feet and an average weight of 88 lbs.
They are highly adaptable and can survive in a variety of habitats, including forests, mountains, deserts, swamps, and tundra.
These beautiful snowy images were captured by Kukrinov Alexandr (51), a physical education teacher and wildlife photographer from Vyazma, Russia.
“It is not easy to lure the wolves out to photograph them so we had to hook small pieces of meat on fallen trees to tempt the wolf to follow the smell,” he told mediadrumworld.com.
“When the wolf showed itself we were incredibly thrilled and immediately got to clicking its pictures, all the while, maintaining a safe distance from the animal.
“The weather helped us a lot as well, it started snowing beautifully and it gave artistry to our shots.”
