photo by @joelsartore | My, what blue eyes you have! A Mexican gray wolf pup at the Endangered Wolf Center near #StLouis. This species is also called “el lobo,” which means wolf in Spanish. Sadly, these #beautiful animals are #endangered. But we can change that. @DefendersOfWildlife has spearheaded the effort to increase wolf populations by helping livestock and wolves coexist through the use of nonlethal deterrents on ranches that keep wolves away from livestock and eliminate the need for humans to kill wolves to protect their own animals. #Follow me, @joelsartore, to learn more about species at risk of disappearing... forever. #PhotoArk #joelsartore #photooftheday by natgeo
