The king of Canada's forests, Canis lupus, blends into its surroundings so effectively that you may not immediately see it—but the wolf certainly knows you're there. In this finely engraved wildlife portrait, a selective splash of colour tints the maple leaves that obscure our wily hunter, whose curious expression reflects its intelligence and adaptability.
