Wolf Scat and Tracks

Description

Colored pencil 8.5"x11"
(and some gouache)

An illustration I did while interning at the Omaha Zoo. It was created for a sign to go near the wolf exhibit at the Wildlife Safari Park. Wolf scat is often filled with bits of bone, fur and other indigestible remains of their prey. If you google wolf scat, you'll find some really furry poo.

Wolves have very large paws, and their front paws are significantly larger than their hind paws. This size difference is illustrated in the differing track sizes. The front paws can measure up to 5", which is shown actual size in the original drawing.

You will laugh, but today I made some realistic-looking edible wolf scat!
(well that´s an idea only wolf nerds with a sense for poo-poo humor can get :D )
and trust me, I tried one -and they may look literally like crap, but they taste delicious :D
I´ll submit a photo of it in a few days, and of course list up the ingrediences..
