Dear All. Wolves and other animals tend to follow the same path all the time and repeat their actions. The man is an experienced nature photographer and so would have known if that particular wolf jumped at that point. Wolves are seldom seen at night and since we do not have wolves in this country I cannot say anything about them but I have seen a fox jump a fence near hear. Animals, like us, do things for fun sometimes. He would have set up the electronic flash triggered by a ir beam so that if the animal jumped there it would be caught. He would have set it up and waited over several days in a hide until he got the shot he wanted. It reminds me of other famous flash images I have seen of Eagles and Owls. The method is standard for nature photography. It is the sort of image that David might take.

Why did the wolf jump the fence? It seems to me that it could have crawled through with more stealth. A stunt wolf would be easy to recognize by its owners.
