Some exceptional photographs have been published of the wolf that nature-lovers have called Emma taking a refreshing dip in a lake at a nature reserve in Antwerp Province.

When temperatures soar, wolves too look for ways to cool off. The photographs above and below show a wolf bathing in a lake at a nature reserve in Antwerp Province.
The wolf is almost certainly Emma, a female that has taken up residence in the north of Antwerp Province. Natuurpunt is keeping the exact location where the photographs were taken on Sunday secret.
The pictures show the wolf near a fen in a grassy area of heathland, a landscape that is typical of the Antwerp Kempen area. Wolves are known to be excellent swimmers.
Photos of the bathing wolf were also shared via the website waarnemingen.be This is an online database where anyone can post sightings of fauna and flora. This can be done while you are out walking by using the ObsMapp smartphone app.
