They are the most beautiful creatures on the planet. ♥ (I'm a little biased. :P). I plan on becoming a loup biologist someday. The picture toi posté is really, really cute, par the way.
I've been wondering that myself. Not why everyone likes wolves, but why they're almost always ranked above all other animals. I guess there's just some wild and beautiful quality about them that makes them so well-liked.
