A pair of grey wolves fighting over dominance in the pack

This drawing is something I hold close to my heart and the first time I've attempted stree branches in the foreground.

I hope this works! I posted earlier without the photo and it worked but I've had issues figuring this all out.

I'm practicing for a comic I'm planning on writing.

Now I know this is so weird but I wonder what other people think, I am pretty strong, 6 foot and about 140 lbs. I really think that if one wolf attacked me I would be able to subdue it with my bare hands, not to mention if I had a blade on me like I usually do or if I was in a situation where I had larger blunt objects or fire. I do not want to fight a wolf, or any animal for that matter this is just a hypothetical, for self defense if I ever in a million years needed to. What do you guys think?

​

I wanted to share some of my recent wolf art, made to help with conservation causes. Thanks for looking!

This year marks 36 years since the first captive-bred red wolves were released into the wild this was the first major wolf reintroduction and paved the way for the more famous grey wolf introduction to Yellowstone in 1995. But due to political pressure and mismanagement, they went from over 130 individuals in the wild to now there are only 13 known adult wolves left in a small part of North Carolina. To celebrate them I want to share some resources that are great to follow for Red Wolf content.
