Wolves rely on facial expressions to communicate with their pack members. In the image described, the wolf's ears are flared outward and tipped back towards the head, a posture that suggests unease. The tense muscles around the eyes further indicate discomfort, as this is a common expression of stress in wolves. Additionally, the closed muzzle and focused gaze toward its subject may imply that the wolf is feeling uneasy about its surroundings or the presence of other wolves.
