The wild residents of the Northwoods
We captured neat footage of some of the “wild residents” of the Northwoods on this trail camera set in a remote spot where the Nashata and Mithrandir Packs overlap.
The easiest way to tell the Nashata and Mithrandir Packs apart is by looking for Wolf V083, the “white wolf”. While V083 is not technically white, his coat has taken on a frosty whitish-gray appearance as he has aged, and this stands out from other wolves.
Anyway, Wolf V083 is the breeding male of the Mithrandir Pack. His mate is a 2 year old female originally from the Nashata Pack. In fact, this 2 year old female is the daughter of the breeding female of the Nashata Pack so some familial connections between these packs.
Nonetheless, both packs seem to be focused on scent-marking this area when they pass through, likely as an effort to announce to the other pack that this area is their territory.
Big thanks to the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for their continued support of our project, which allows us to capture and share footage like this with everyone!
