"As a species, Canis lupus has adapted to a variety of habitats, including completely open
country. Arctic wolves live on the treeless tundra, and the Eurasian subspecies may live on
grassy steppe or Israeli deserts. Timber Wolves are generally associated with vast virgin
forests, as in this painting in which I have shown a pack of wolves cautiously emerging
from big timber.

As a culture, wolves live communally and teach their young. They are a culture whose
lifestyle has evolved in deep forests in need of those vast undisturbed tracts of old trees
in order to survive, but the destruction of the forests in the past few decades has
far surpassed that of previous centuries.  Let us hope that we can find alternative
sources of fiber and protect these large areas of old growth forests and the
wolves which inhabit them."

If we can save some forests, it will benefit not only the wolves, but future
generation of man.- Robert Bateman
