Well it's one stunning wolf, so stunning that the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) has crowned this photo as the winner of their annual photography competition.
It was taken by Phil Mumby at Longleat Safari Park and came first in the 'Life in a' collection.
The competition is open to staff, members of volunteers of BIAZA zoos and aquariums.
A picture of an armadillo from Bristol Zoo was also entered, we think it's also rather cute and could have bagged a prize.
