For me, the wolf represents the symbol of conservation our wild world more so than the panda. I have great respect for the wolf because it managed to survive even though it was poached, killed and massacred for centuries throughout the northern hemisphere, where it lives. Wolves are among the most interesting animals because of the social rules of the wolf pack. They are a good example of birth control in nature as only the alpha male and female mate have offspring. The rest of the pack helps to take care of the pups. I will never tire of painting wolves; the satisfaction of rendering that wild glance in their eyes is too great. - CB
