This wolf pack is almost entirely black wolves, which is quite rare for Minnesota! Of course, this is not to say it does not happen, but rather that it is definitely not the norm. For reference, black wolves make up 1.5-2% of wolves in Minnesota based on data in the […]
We have had many bears terrorize our trail cameras but we hadn’t had a wolf try to do so before but the breeding female of the Windsong Pack thought chewing on our camera would be a bit of fun. She spent 5 whole minutes just chewing and pulling on the […]
Thinking of warm spring Northwoods days and counting wolf pups on this wintry Monday morning in Voyageurs where it is -22 F outside but feels like -39 F with the wind. This Paradise Den, located under the roots of an ancient cedar, is undoubtedly one of the coolest dens we […]
We checked cameras yesterday and got this gem of the Cranberry Bay Pack traveling together this fall at freeze-up in a remote wild part of Voyageurs National Park. Rarely do we get the entire pack in a one frame! The Cranberry Bay Pack was only 4 wolves strong last winter […]
To think that wolves attack and kill moose with their mouths is just crazy…just look at the the size difference. To help visualize, we overlaid a clip of the Nashata Pack traveling over a clip of two bull moose. Both videos were on the same trail taken a few weeks […]
Vignettes from a Northwoods beaver dam! We have said it before and will say it again: beaver dams are nice natural bridges that wildlife like to use to cross wetlands, swamps, and bogs. Some of the footage from this camera— like the lynx and the bear pulling apart some of […]
Enjoy the various wildlife captured on a trail camera in the middle of the remote Kabetogama Peninsula deep in the center of Voyageurs National Park. All footage is from mid-September 2021 to early December 2021. This particular camera was intentionally set-up near the border of the Nashata Pack territory and […]
Talk about the right place at the right time! Turn the volume up to hear a wolf howl that is as wild as they come. Wolf V094, the breeding male of the Half-Moon Pack, stopped right in front of the camera this summer, howled a few times, and then decided […]
Things are getting a little flirtatious in the wolf world as sex is on the mind—and we mean that in the most biological way! Actually, mating season is pretty much over now but this footage was from February 13, in the heat of mating season and the day before Valentine’s […]
The scenic boreal forest and its wildlife as seen from a massive beaver dam last fall—including some fantastic footage of the large Shoepack Lake Pack running the shores of this beaver pond. We also got a great video of Wolf V036, the breeding female of the Shoepack Lake Pack, staring […]
