BBC Nature Photography winner a fraud?

Doesnt look like the same animal to me, although I admit I thought a wild Wolf would not behave in the way suggested by the photographer at the time.

What a terrible thing to do if he did... I'm not sure about the wolf looking the same... it could have been... but whatever the case, the photo never looked 'real' to me... I liked it well enough, but it does look staged.xx

This has been rumbling on for at least a month. The image (and the lengths the tog went to - to get the shot) has been covered in a few of the monthly glossy magazines.
From what I can gather it's been under scrutiny for a while so regardless of the result - at least they've come to a decision.
