Wolf den with 5 pups under ancient cedar tree

Voyageurs Wolf Project | December 20, 2025



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 have visited so far! Would be really interesting to know how long wolves have used this old tree as a den!

Regardless, we feel very fortunate to have trail cameras to document the happenings at this den when we are not there. Before the advent of trail camera technology and GPS-collars, observing/documenting scenes such as this in forested places like northern Minnesota were extremely difficult.

Luckily, things have changed a bit. And on this winter day, we look forward to spring and documenting, studying, and sharing with everyone the pups of the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem!

    "Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat; The calf and the young lion shall browse together, with a little child to guide them." (Isaiah 11:6) Oh, how I long for the new heaven and the new earth.

    Cada vez que veo estas imágenes tan conmovedoras me angustio, pienso en estos pobres inocentes esperando a su mamá y me pregunto si ella volverá o habrá tenido la desgracia de encontrarse con un cazador desalmado o caer en una trampa dejando a estos bebés solos y con un destino terrible. Es triste pensar que mi especie ha sembrado y siembra de dolor y muerte la naturaleza. Ojalá tengan suerte, sus padres vivan y puedan tener una vida en paz en su hábitat natural.
