hmm, the head seems to shrink too the end, maybe try to keep the size consistent? Unless the angle of the camera, of the wolf itself is moving away, then maybe that would be an exception; but there appears to be no other body, so I wouldn't know.
Also, coloring the nose could bring animation to more a realistic term, and have the audience something to focus on, instead of the last few frames fading away.
The forehead also seems to re-shape as the ears go down, it kinda looks as if the brain grew, and is a little distracting.
Another thing; all I see is the left side towards the bottom seems to go all over the place with the lines; again, this is a matter of consistency. It's very distracting when the lines jiggle at the bottom and takes away from the growling effect.
Also, the teeth seems to curve the other way, or at least it looks that way. The gums should be a tad higher in the front too. the wolf on the last frame looks a little snobby, because seeing as how angry this wolf is, they'd show a little more gum on the last one.
Here's an example:

On that subject, the chin seems to shrink as well nearing towards the last frame or two. It also adds to the effect of distraction.
The ears also look a little funky. [don't take that to offence] depending on the type of wolf you were trying to draw [ Arctic, American Grey, Mexican, Canadian, other subspecies...ect ] the ear shape would differ. This look like a Eurasian grey wolf to me because of the thickness and head shape. So the ears would have more of a taller shape, and less of a tiny fuzzy kind.
Like so;[link]
Lastly I think the last frame or two aren't very consistent with the growl. It seems to be a little more bulky, and the first frames to be a little more defined.
Keep in mined that consistency is the key to animation. Oh, not to mention the fact [unless the wind is blowing] the fur lines should be kept more in place. Like as the line is going down the middle of the forehead, and disappears within the third frame, when is has about two to go until the final "side few" and is no longer really visible. Same with the neck, and chin furs, they seem to jump all over the place. Which is really distracting to the eye.
So i think i'm done for now?
There's no such thing as perfect, especially in an animation.
But hopefully you didn't find this too mean, just some things needed to be pointed out. Sorry if it was a little harsh, no harm intended, just constructive crit,
and i took a while writing this, so I'd appreciate if you'd at least absorb some of this.

I'm just gonna say this: It's better than anything I could animate.
