Shoulder Bag Polar Wolf

The wolf that was never driven out

Every other wolf in this range has a history of persecution behind it. The Arctic wolf largely does not, for the plain reason that almost nobody lives in its range.

It is one of very few large predators whose population was never collapsed by hunting, and one consequence is striking: Arctic wolves show little instinctive fear of people, because nothing in their history taught them to have any.

They live where the temperature reaches sixty below, on territories that can run to thousands of square kilometres because prey is so thinly spread.

Two wolves under a night sky

The print shows a pair on a rocky ridge, one with its head back howling and one standing alongside looking out, with white stars and broad bands of red light behind them in a deep blue sky.

The wolves themselves are pale against that dark ground, which is what makes the picture read from across a room rather than only close up.

What it holds

Phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small water bottle and a paperback. A day out rather than a working day.

The bag

17 x 6 x 23 cm, Oxford fabric and black nylon, adjustable strap, strong zips. Water resistant rather than fully waterproof, since the zips and seams are not sealed.
