Yaaawwwn! This gray wolf was lounging about in the afternoon sun. Apparently its teeth are well cared for. The North American populations of these creatures are threatened for various reasons. One is a genetic bottleneck in their population due to isolated populations as a result of habitat loss. There is mounting scientific evidence which proves the importance of these creatures to biological diversity of other species.

These are all part of the Jungle City organisation, which is debuting in Edinburgh for a couple of months and will move to various cities around the world. There are statues all decorated by different artists all over the place (there's a map on the site), small versions are available to buy as are the actual full size statues, to raise money for wildlife charities and to raise awarness of some of the magnificent species we're endangering
