Once wolves kill fawns, as they do frequently at this time of year, they have a transportation issue: the pups are not big enough to travel to the kills so the adults must move the meal to the pups. This often means adults must travel several miles, expending substantial energy […]
Highlights from a camera set-up in a remote wilderness for over 10 months! The camera captured the typical cast of elusive forest characters including wolves, moose, and bears, and actually had some of the most lynx footage we’ve ever captured on a single camera. And as always, we had a […]
A tranquil moment this winter as the Whiskey Point Pack quietly slipped through the snowy forest. High-quality footage such as this allows us to individually identify all the wolves in each of the 22-25 packs we study annually. We then use this data to measure and understand changes in wolf […]
This pack of 6 wolves really thought our camera was pretty special this winter. Luckily, several wolves took their turns chewing on the camera, the camera miraculously came out alright (see the nice video of another wolf in daylight shortly after these wolves left). Other cameras have not been so […]
At 7 months old, these pups from the Stub-tail Pack both suffered substantial back leg injuries, and one survived from the injury, the other likely did not. In early November 2024, one pup appears to have broken its back left leg with the skin on the back of the leg […]
A collection of neat, rarely seen moments from the Northwoods of Minnesota. That is, these are some highlights from our ~350 cameras we had deployed last summer. Will be curious to hear what folks think is the ‘best’ clip…always hard for us to determine that! Also, this is part 1…we […]
Another collection of neat, rarely seen moments from the Northwoods of Minnesota! I.e., this is “Part II” of our highlights from the ~350 cameras we deployed in the field last summer. Check out our last post for Part 1! Will be curious to hear what folks think is the best […]
On New Year’s Day, we captured this footage of the Blackstone Pack, a large, predominantly Canadian Pack, trespassing deep into the Listening Point Pack territory on the Kabetogama Peninsula. The Blackstone Pack was a large pack at the start of early winter as we had several observations of 9 wolves […]
We set this trail camera on a remote wildlife trail near a beaver pond, and here are the highlights from the past year or so! Notably, we captured many more videos of wolves, bears, deer, snowshoes hares, and more but condensed it here to the best footage captured. Of course, […]
From this past winter on a remote portage… This portage has traditionally been the border between two packs. In the past, we often observed members from both packs frequenting the portage marking their territory, and investigating the scent-marks from their neighbor. But this past winter, the only wolves seen on […]
