Very kind of the two surviving Wiyapka Lake pups to put on a little show for the camera this winter! Note the very interesting and unique facial markings on these pups…both have dark faces/muzzles and the one has light-colored rings of fur around his eyes. The Wiyapka Lake Pack had […]
Checked this camera last week: no wolves but some wonderful vignettes of life in spring in the Northwoods…including some parents with youngsters like this moose with her young calf and a momma bear with her 3 tiny cubs. Some beautiful snapshots from a special place! Learn more about the Voyageurs […]
A super-duper, amazingly lucky trail camera capture: we finally caught a wolf hunting a beaver on video!!! Check it out! We cannot overstate how rare such observations are. Of course, you might think we are exaggerating here so let us explain… In 2015, Dr. Dave Mech—one of the world’s foremost […]
We set this camera up on an idyllic remote beaver pond in the dead of winter in hopes of getting wolves crossing the ice. And that worked but we also caught several other critters as well as the changing of winter to spring. The video starts with some frisky behavior […]
Here is a collection of videos showing wolves hunting—and in two instances killing—deer on roads and trails in our area. These observations are the basis for a new scientific paper we just published which provides some insight into how people are indirectly influencing wolf predation on deer…here is a synopsis […]
Wolf pups are left alone at dens from time to time while their parents go out in search of food. When a parent returns, the pups go into somewhat of a frenzy (for wolf pups that is) trying to find their parent and presumably get food. Here is one such […]
To be a wolf is to be injured or at least injured quite frequently. This lone wolf that has been hobbling around our area since last October is one such example. This wolf is unable to use his front left foot/leg for some reason and so he wanders with 3 […]
This camera was out in the woods for almost 2 years (2021-2023) and here is the “highlight reel”! What makes this video particularly neat is that we got footage of virtually every large carnivore in northern Minnesota aside from the “black cougar” that some locals claimed to have seen and […]
A great look at the 5 Windsong Pack pups that survived to their first birthday! This video is from December 2022 when pups were about 8 months old. So while the pups are starting to look more and more adult-like, they still have some clear pup-like features (e.g., their faces). […]
A video 7 months in the making showing how some beaver ponds become wolf highways once they freeze. And the footage on this camera was critical in understanding the splintering of the Cranberry Bay Pack, the formation of the new Mithrandir Pack, and the changes in the Nashata Pack. Importantly, […]
