With their haunting song and elusive nature, wolves have long evoked both fear and admiration in humans, their only predator. They symbolize beauty and mystery. Profoundly social, these playful and intelligent creatures are fiercely dedicated to their family -- the pack -- on which survival depends. Yet they are also shy by nature. In Loups 2016, award-winning wildlife photographers celebrate the beauty of these magnificent creatures, offering rare glimpses of wolves in their natural settings, where they play a critical role in nature's complex drama. Together, the 12 photographs in this calendar present a fascinating portrait of the awe-inspiring but often misunderstood wolf. Descriptive captions further reveal the mystery of wolves.
