The Shoepack Lake Pack traveling through the majestic forests of Voyageurs after an early winter snow last December. We only observed 7 wolves traveling together in this video but we have other footage of the pack from around the same time showing 9 wolves together. Regardless, the pack had dwindled […]
A project trail camera first: a mama moose with twins! We rarely get videos of moose and even fewer videos of moose with calves! Both calves made it to at least mid-July, which means their odds of surviving are looking alright (see below)! On average, calves in northern Minnesota are […]
Just checked cameras! Captured the first footage of the Half-Moon Pack pups this year! This video was from early August. We had another video of 4 Half-Moon pups on August 20 suggesting the these 4 pups made it to September. Time will tell, though, if these pups make it. Pup […]
Rare footage of wolves eating blueberries from this past summer, and the first footage of a mom and her pup foraging for blueberries together that we are aware of! The only other footage of wolves eating blueberries, to our knowledge, is the video we posted a few years ago, which […]
A montage of the biggest, chubbiest bears we captured on camera this summer. There were a few bears that were particularly rotund but they stayed back from the camera a ways. A real bummer. It seems the chubbiest bears are the shyest. If only they knew we just wanted to […]
If you like otters, then you will probably like this video. If you don’t like otters, get help…something is wrong with you. These otters frequently crossed this large beaver dam last fall before this beaver pond froze over…and the otters were kind enough to do a few poop dances in […]
The first “blonde” wolf we have captured on camera here! Certainly a very rare coat color for wolves in this area as we have thousands of videos of wolves and none quite like this one! And by blonde we mean the light, creamy colored fur around the wolf’s neck and […]
What is worse for a trail camera than 1 bear? Answer: 2 bears. This pair of deviants got done sparring with each other, got bored, and said to each other “Hey, let’s destroy that camera. What else are we gonna do today…eat grass and sniff turds?!” And so the camera […]
Wolf O0C dropped a bonafide poop magnet on this trail, and subsequent travelers, allured by the intoxicating magnetism, had to take a sniff! Now, we are not trying to be gross but there is no way around it: turds serve an important biological function—mainly as an information source and means […]
We just got our first video ever of a cougar!! This rare footage was from October 20 and taken in the southern part of the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem. Fortunately, the footage is super clear so no disputing what kind of kitty this is! The Minnesota DNR has verified 59 cougar […]
