Apart from studying the colour of their coat and proportions, I found out that their Latin name, Canis Lupus Signatus is because of the signiature black markings on their tail and front legs, white markings on upper lips and that uniquely, a difference in the size of one molar tooth differentiates them from other wolves! Sadly these beautiful creatures are targeted by hunters and local livestock farmers, but thanks to rewilding efforts, these dangers are decreasing and biodiversity is gaining momentum. ![]() ![]() Odile's father, Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente, was a famous Spanish filmmaker, naturalist and environmentalist, renowned for dedicating his life to the understanding and protection of wolves.
