Wolves have been extinct in Britain for 500 years but eight are now living a semi-wild existence in a Shropshire valley.

Anthony Haighway was inspired to launch the Wolf Watch UK sanctuary after rescuing two of the animals from a closing zoo.

He has rescued 35 in total, many which had been kept in captivity, and lets them roam in a secret countryside location.

Though he has eight in total, his oldest residents, Maddie and Kosi, having far exceeded the average life expectancy by reaching 18 years of age.
