Timber Wolf enjoying the sun

This is one of the beautiful Grey/Timber Wolves at the Calgary Zoo, and the only white one. Taken just over a year ago, on 2 March 2012. Actually, I'm never sure whether to call this beautiful animal a Timber Wolf or an Arctic Wolf. She is in a large enclosure with two grey Timber Wolves and I can only see one sign, which says Timber Wolf. So, I suspect she, too, is a Timber Wolf, just white. The colour of Timber Wolves does range from nearly white to nearly black, but they are usually grayish. I've never seen a Wolf in the wild, but would love to.

Thanks, Art (LeapFrog!) for the following link that explains the difference between the Wolf subspecies!
