Pensive

This Arctic Wolf shares a large enclosure with three Gray Wolves at the Calgary Zoo. She is the dominant one of the group.

 

"The Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos), also called Polar Wolf or White Wolf, is a mammal of the Canidae family, and a subspecies of the Gray Wolf. ..... The Arctic Wolf is the only subspecies of the Gray Wolf that still can be found over the whole of its original range, largely because, in their natural habitat, they rarely encounter humans." From Wikipedia.
