A beautiful beaver dam in northern Minnesota
Wolves and otters (and a beaver and red fox) at a beautiful beaver dam last fall! Granted, there was one particularly malicious wolf in this area who thought our trail camera was its personal chew toy.
One three different occasions within a 3-week period, this wolf—or what we suspect is the same wolf—was mouthing our camera. In one clip, this wolf can be seen making a bee line for our camera with malicious intent in its eyes!
On its 3rd attempt, the wolf succeeded in rendering the camera obsolete by pushing the camera face-down in the snow. The wolf gets an A++ for curiosity, initiative, and vandalism!
But at least we got some nice footage before that! In particular, we got some nice footage of the Shoepack Lake Pack traveling on the ice, which yielded some early winter pack counts which are helpful for many things.

the fox – back in the day we would have called that a cross fox because of the black tail with the white tip. Is that a legit term or was that just a coloquiallism (sp?) we used to use?

Dall'Italia vi ringrazio per questo fantastico video , che mi risolleva il morale e mi fa incominciare bene la giornata. Questi video e la vostra attività andrebbero fatti conoscere specialmente nelle scuole in modo che le nuove generazioni possano capire quanto sia importante l'ambiente e la natura e la sua conservazione. Scusate per l'italiano ma non parlo Inglese (google translate però funziona bene ! 😁)

Amazing footage, thanks so much for sharing. Wolf pack in which is perfectly identified male and female breeds by tail's position, and funny playgame of otters sliding on the ice, who said it's cold? ❤️

That wolf definitely didn't like his picture being taken. Awesome video. Hopefully he didn't totally destroy it.
